The article that I read discusses the benefits of blogging in a collaborative setting. Every learner in 5th grade (Wilson) has their own and blogs weekly on a variety of topics. In the classroom, some possibilities include learners using their blogs to respond to what their reading, explain science concepts and investigations, and provide feedback to other learners in the classroom.
But I'm especially interested in having my learners be guest bloggers on my classroom blog. My class blog serves as a point of communication with my learner's parents, and I think they would be very interested in seeing their children's perspective on how and what they are learning. Learners will take ownership of their learning by sharing what they have learned in blog form.
If you already have a Google Blog and are interested in having your learners contribute as guest bloggers, follow these directions:
1. Sign in to your blog
2 Click on "Settings"
3. Click on "Mobile and Email"
4. Under the email subheading, fill out the required information, and choose "save emails as draft post" so that you can moderate guest blog posts before they are posted to your classroom blog.
