Blogs in the Classroom

I will be introducing my staff to Blogs in May. We will be focusing on integrating science and writing next school year. So, I will implement them as a part of our Fall Science Fair. Part of being a scientist is being able to * communicate effectively. Throughout the students' work on their projects, they will be documenting their work through a blog. The primary classes usually do a whole-group science fair project. It would be the perfect opportunity for the teacher to use guided writing. The older kids will be able to do individual projects and document their progress.



* Yes, I originally misspelled my own blog's name! How embarrassing!

  1. Wow! How exciting. Have you decided what blog you will use? Will your teachers be using the blog during the summer?

  2. I'll probably have them use Blogger. I have taught "virtual" book studies before using Message Boards. We did a summer book study on "Great Teaching in the One Computer Classroom"- ages ago. So, I was thinking about incorporating a Blog into a summer book study for my staff.
