- Kids love blogging.
- Students who lack the reading and writing skills they need to succeed also may lack the motivation to practice those skills. Many are motivated, however, to chat virtually with their friends.
- Seeing their words published on the Web is a great student motivator.
- Blogs offer an innovative way for students to engage in reflective writing on classroom topics in a familiar medium.
- Blogs represent a democratization of information dissemination, providing each individual with the opportunity to publicly present his or her thoughts and opinions.
- Students who know they have an audience other than their teacher write more credibly, accurately, and carefully.
- Blogs allow others to respond, providing feedback to the authors.
-
- reflect on their reading or classroom discussions.
- investigate topics online and then report on their research.
- record group progress on a project.
- talk about shared classroom experiences.
- copy and paste thought-provoking quotes from other blogs, and then offer their own thoughts on the topic.
- ask professional writers to edit their blogs, or provide feedback.
