<p>A perfect way to use a blog is the following </p>
<p>I have a 5th grade language arts teacher who is looking students and teaches to respond to their reading blogs. If this is something that you might be interested in having your students do, please visit</p>
<ul>

<li><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kidblog.org/AmeliaEarhart/"><b>The goal is for the students to create blogs that share/highlight the interesting features of the person whose biography they are reading. Our ideal situation is for other 5th grade classes around the country to be able to read and respond to their work. We would like the student readers to focus on deciding (individually, if possible) which blog most convinced them to want to learn more about the person of interest. This project is happening right now, and will continue throughout next week. There will be two to three more blogs written by the students before this project is over, as well as a "book trailer" for the other 5th grade students to read. Thank you for participating! </b></a></span></li>
<li><span><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kidblog.org/AmeliaEarhart/"><b>We would like to know where the students who are reading the blogs are from (state/country), so that we can see how far our work has travelled.</b></a></span></li>

<p>We have had students debate over literary themes (who is the loneliest character in Of Mice and Men) using it as a forum for discussion where they learn how to use cyber ethics to respond to a statement on a blog that they either agree or disagree with and we have also had them make a statement and support it with cited research. </p>
<p>At the end of February, I am going to hold a webinar on blogging with examples.</p>

<p>Hi Mr. B,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know of a teacher who uses a microblog for his students to post questions they have while working on homework assignments. Before using a microblog he had to answer questions by email.

<p>Hi Mr. B,</p>

<p>I know of a teacher who uses a microblog for his students to post questions they have while working on homework assignments. Before using a microblog he had to answer questions by email. By using a microblog it made it easier for students to ask questions and also created new learning opportunities. Before, the questions would be locked away in the email inbox where only one student can see the teacher's response, but now with the transparency of an open microblog every students can learn when the teacher responds to one student's question. It also reduced the need for the teacher to answer the same question emailed by multiple students.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The microblog really helped the students connect with the teacher, and it's usually before exams when question/communication traffic is the highest. The only complaint was that the convenience of the microblog in connecting with the teacher could sometimes cut into the teacher's own personal time...</p> My class is trying out a blog…tag:www.classroom20.com,2011-01-27:649749:Comment:5872132011-01-27T19:07:45.671ZC Hutchesonhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/CHutcheson761
My class is trying out a blog for the first time and it is mostly the students excitedly "chatting". I've posted two questions and have hit and miss responses... <br/>Not what I was looking for!
