Blog Example #1 - Student Journals July 30, 2007
Posted by Matthew Woolums in Edublogs.trackback
Blogs have been around for a while now, and seem to be gaining traction in classrooms for everything from student publishing to collaborative group work. I’m going to collect some examples of specific ways that blogs are used and collect all of them with the Edublogs tag. If you know of an innovative use of blogging in education, feel free to add your examples in the comments.
First up is Room 9′ Writing Spot. This site is run entirely by students. The primary use seems to be student journals. Their writing is mostly non-fictional recounts of recent events. First names are used as tags to collect the work of individual students. The intent is to publish student work ‘as-is’ so any corrections for grammar or spelling end up in parentheses. Parents and students are encouraged to comment on the writing so the students can get feedback from an audience that exists outside the classroom.
