Classroom Blog and Website Creation Tools
Importance of technology:
By using this blog, we can see each other’s stories and hopefully learn something from them. We also get to
comment on each other’s posts and share even more thoughts on the event. For this particular assignment,
there won’t really be any other kinds of technology we will use. I can allow the kids to posts pictures and/or
videos if they have any to support their story.
Inspiration (optional): I am sort of basing this idea off of discussion posts I have had to do on D2L and
blackboard for different classes.
Internet Safety and Student Privacy:
I would encourage parents to supervise and help with this assignment to make sure their child is only sharing
appropriate content. I can always delete comments or posts on the blog if the entire class shouldn’t see them
and contact the parents to let them know. I will keep this page password protected just the important
information page so only the parents and students. I will make sure to discuss with students proper online
etiquette and what is okay to post about and what is not.
Reflective Practice:
This would just be an ongoing small assignment for the students to continue working on their writing skills. I
think this is great for student learning so that they don’t just learn something and move on. They continue
working on it and I can give them feedback before they try again the next week so they have something to
improve. This can be used to prepare them to write an entire narrative essay one day.
