When work is published to a blog, students feel a sense of ownership and accountability that can improve their writing. Blogs are also easier for teachers to maintain than classroom webpages.

    The Benefits of Blogging

    With Your Students


    By Donna Rondolet
    Assignment 8.5
    EDU 735
    24 hours – 7 days a week
    Blogging is not limited to one period a day, or
    during school hours. Blogs can be worked on
    at any time of the day.
    Blogging is a cool way to talk with your
    teachers and friends
    Students who are shy in class may “speak” with ease
    on the computer. Blogging gives all students a
    chance to participate in a discussion.
    Blogs may captivate the interest of the
    non-traditional student
    We all know them … the student that has a hard
    time behaving when asked to work on
    traditional class work assignments. If they
    love being on the computer for other things,
    they may be more apt to engage in a blogging
    assignment!
    Blogs encourage literacy
    Students must know how to read to participate
    in a blog. Students will improve their reading
    skills by reading and responding to a blog.
    Blogging can improve writing skills….
    In addition to reading, blogging encourages
    students to write.
    …. And typing skills!
    Typing is a life skill that all students should learn.
    Participating in web assignments will provide
    students with practice.
    Ownership and accountability
    Students know that others are able to read their
    work that is published in a blog. They are
    more apt to review what they are writing and
    respond positively to suggestions to correct
    their work.
    Blogs are easy to maintain
    Teachers will find it easier to maintain a blog
    than it is to work on a classroom webpage.
    How to update an “old school” assignment with
    new blogging technology:

    “Old School” – After a field trip, students spend


    time in the classroom writing an essay, or
    taking a test, related to what they have
    learned.
    “New school” method …
    After a field trip, students are asked to visit their
    teacher’s blog to discuss what they learned on
    their field trip. Students are allowed to
    complete assignment on their own time.
    Blogging is fun!
    Blogging is a useful tool that all teachers should
    attempt to use in their classroom. Students
    will enjoy being a part of a blog. Teachers will
    enjoy the ease of creating and maintaining
    one.
