The more I read about blogging with students, the more I see how many benefits there are. I know that all students are different but it seems totally worth it to explore blogging within you class and subject.
Blogging expands the walls of the classroom. Blogging helps students connect with each other outside of t he class by allowing them to share comments and questions . The possibility also exists of connecting with others that are not in the physical class. Students can connect with other students who have the same grade and subject, or experts/ authors to discuss results, thoughts. experiments, ect.
Blogging with students has the active/ reflective learning archived. The blog keeps a history of the work that is done in an organized and shareable space which can show growth and development in writing and thinking skills.
Thirdly, the blog is tool that supports different learning styles. Students who are shy or self conscious in class may feel blogging is a safer way to share. All students have a voice and ideas that they can share thru writing, video clips, art, ect. Students then feel a sense of ownership which can lead to greater participation.
