I started this blog in order to document a new direction I’m going with my advanced students. Every unit of study includes a collaborative group project, and, at a student’s suggestion, in April they will go live with blogs about timely local and global issues that matter to them. All of our class projects are meant to promote global awareness and civic literacy as well as real-world skills. Innovative integration of technology is key. while blogging is not innovative in itself, blogging for a school project is new to me and new at the school where I teach.
I’m excited about the support I’m receiving at school and I can’t wait to see what my students produce. I would love to hear from other teachers who have experience with student blogging as well as teachers just getting started or thinking about it.
