Blogs


Blogs may be great educational tools and they give

students complete freedom to publish content on the

web, but if you don’t know how to effectively implement

 them into the classroom, they’re only as good as

wadded up balls of paper in the trash.


With the inception of Common Core standards and


 The No Child Left Behind Act, all educators require


teaching literacy across the curriculum. Getting kids


 to write, especially the weaker writers, can be a


challenge in itself but getting kids to write about


math can be even more challenging – unless you


use blogging as your literacy tactic.



Blog writing is informal, unlike academic writing,


which may be intimidating to some, if not all, of your


students. Blog writing takes the pressure off of writing


and gives your students a voice in a safe environment,


even if you or your students stepping out of your


comfort zone.

What is a Blog?




Blog is short for web log. It’s a bit like an online diary or

journal, except blogs aren’t necessarily private, instead

 they’re created for an audience. And just like a diary

or journal, a blog is relaxed, making it an easy and

comfortable way for students to get writing.



Blogs are written on all kinds of topics from A to Z.

Readers can usually leave comments, which lead to

discussions about the blog’s content. For example,

 a blog about flipping your classroom can lead to a

discussion between novice and experienced teachers

about common questions, advice, tips, and

clarifications.

Blogging can improve students’ writing skills and build

their confidence as writers. By blogging, students

 can take ownership of  their writing, become better

observers of others’ writing, and develop a more

immediate and powerful understanding of audience.



Blogs encourage experimenting and risk-taking,

seriousness and play, and they foster an increased

awareness of private and public writing. Blogging

blends both the freeing aspect of short pieces that

 can be written in a relatively low-stakes environment

 with the sense of claiming one’s own voice

and learning how to develop analysis and articulate

ideas to a larger public.



Guided by clear expectations of what is required in

a class blog, students can see their writing develop

over the course of the term. This handout describes

strategies for using blogs as a writing tool in the

classroom.


 



What are blogs used for in the

classroom?



Teachers can use blogs to publish assignments,

resources, and keep students and even parents up

 to date on class events, due dates, and content being

 covered. Teachers can also use blogs to help students'

 master content and improve their writing skills.



Blogs may be great educational tools and they give

students complete freedom to publish content on the

web, but if you don’t know how to effectively implement

them into the classroom, they’re only as good


as we added up balls of paper in the trash.


 



The use of Blogs:




Students can use blogs to publish their writing and

educate others on a particular topic.Students can also

 create blogs for the chess club or the yearbook club,

the football team or the upcoming prom.


 



How can Teachers and Students


 use Blogs?




  • Teachers can use blogs to publish assignments, resources, and keep students and even parents up to date on class events, due dates, and content being covered.




  • Teachers can also use blogs to help students’ master content and improve their writing skills.




  • Students can use blogs to publish their writing and educate others on a particular topic.




  • Students can also create blogs for the chess club or the yearbook club, the football team or the upcoming prom.


 



Blog writing


Blog writing is informal, unlike academic writing, which

may be intimidating to some, if not all, of your students.

Blog writing takes the pressure off of writing and gives

your students a voice in a safe environment, even

 if you or your students stepping out of your comfort

zone.



 



Empowering Students




Students have the opportunity to practice writing and analytical skills in their own blogs that will transfer into essays and other writing endeavors. Students are able to see their own writing as something “real” with a practical application.



Creating a blog can be a bridge for students between the familiar digital world and what is being asked of them in academic essays, projects and other university-based assignments. Blogging can be seen as a gateway experience for students who will likely be using digital technologies and media in their future endeavors regardless
of their discipline.


 



General Considerations




Although at first it may seem somewhat daunting

when considering the perceived technical skills

involved, using blogs in the classroom can be very

rewarding. The learning curve is not as steep as you

may imagine, and many resources for instructors

 exist on campus (see Tech Support section below).



Also, some students when learning to navigate the

platform initially may resist blogging. But most

students change their minds as they begin to blog.



 



How can learners use Blogs in


 the Classroom?





Guidelines


You can develop clear goals, guidelines, and

expectations for you and your students. For example,

your school may or may not allow photos of students

on blog pages or they may require written permission

from a parent to participate in a blog. You and your

students need to know the rules before blogging

begins. Guidelines can be published and updated right

on your class blog for easy access by students and

parents.




Integrate Classroom Curriculum


Blogging can be used across the curriculum. From

math and science to history and health, blogging is

great way to take literacy across the curriculum.





English is for Everyone


Blogging not only requires subject knowledge, it also

takes good writing skills. Even if you’re using blogging

in a math or science class, you should set some time

aside to teach a bit of writing and grammar.




How To Comment


The comment section of a blog post is where students

 can share thoughts and opinions and have a

discussion about the published content. Initially, it is a

good idea to teach students the dos and don’ts of

commenting. Start off by writing the first two or three

blog posts and have students comment according to

your set of criteria.





Be Realistic


Choose something the kids are passionate about or

want to raise awareness about. For example, a

classroom blog could be about an endangered species

 such as the orangutan or about the importance of

eating healthy. Once a topic is exhausted, create a

 new classroom blog on another topic. The old blogs

remain static but available for readers.





Read other Blogs


Take the time to read other classroom and student

blogs. This will give you and your students concrete

examples of the finished product and give you ideas

when creating your own blog.



Be Consistent


Blogging takes commitment. If posts are haphazardly

published, reader base and student interest will most

likely decline. The idea is to keep building and

expanding. In the beginning, set a goal of a post

every two weeks per student and gradually increase

submissions, as the students get more comfortable

with blogging.





Plagiarism



Explain to students that plagiarism will not be tolerated.

 Student contributions must be their own work. Don’t

post copyrighted images. Do post copyright free

images. Include a site here.





Network with other Bloggers


Encourage local and global collaboration by having

students network with bloggers and follow other

student blogs. Although it is important to give students

 a choice when selecting a blog they want to follow,

 it is best to provide them with a set of criteria to help

with their selection.





Dive into Social Media


If any of the blogs related to your classroom are made

public, then you’ll want to get more readership by

connecting your blog with social media sites, such as

Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Word of mouth is

always the best advertising.





Hang in there


For older students (grades 4 and up) you can ask or

assign students to manage and monitor blogs, mediate

 comment sections. Give your pros a chance to shine

by having them lead small groups that help students

navigate the world of blogging. Be sure to rotate these

student roles.
