Blogging is an important method to utilize in the classroom or school library. It is a way to communicate and share your own thoughts. In being a future librarian, I would use blogging as a way of communication through book discussions. For example, I would post a blog about a new award winning novel and have students comment on their opinion of the book. Therefore, it is almost as if the blogging tool is used as an online book club where people can share their thoughts any time of the day.
Another way to use blogging is if a teacher is having students complete a research project on a particular country, a blog could be set up that may help students come in contact with people from that country in which they are learning about. They are achieving primary resources as well as developing a good understanding of that culture.

Blogging is a great avenue for book discussions. It is also a great way to connect with other classes. Check out Class Blogmeister.
ReplyDeleteLiana,
ReplyDeleteOne of the things you were supposed to do on your blog was set up your blog list of blogs you follow, including some that I suggested and your classmates' blog. :(
