Tool #1 / Uses and Misuses of Blogging
Setting this up took several HOURS. The assigment says to discuss ways this could be used in a classroom. Hmmm.... research projects would be the main reason. I would discourage students from posting personal information online or using a blog as a journal. I would imagine that workshops will be given explaining further uses applicable for 2nd graders to blog.

I've finally gotten some help. I've been ! I like your avatar and when I finish commenting I will listen to see what she says. I'll use blogging when I start a new unit in social studies and science for sure. It will be an added reinforcer and a peek inside the heads of our kids. No more taking a pile of journals home at the end of a grading period! Miss ya!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that I am not alone in how long and somewhat frustrating this has been. I have just finished with tool 2 and will keep checking up on you....keep at it!
ReplyDeleteTeaching the kids to make comments on newly discovered concepts in social studies and science would be one pratical way of using blogs.
ReplyDeleteThat first tool can be the hardest for a lot of people because there is so much to assimilate. The rest of it should be a lot easier.
