Thinking about teaching with blogs?


Blogs can be used as a portfolio.

Students can post regularly.

Towards the end of the unit, semester, or year, they can reflect on what they have written, noting growth, including posts that show them moving outside their comfort zones by trying new rhetorical devices (or content area concepts such as using primary sources to make an argument about a historical event or person or explaining how they approached algebraic equations one way in the beginning of the unit another toward the end).

What do you think?
What are some authentic ways we can use blogs to teach a concept or skill?
