What is a blog?A blog (sometimes referred to as a weblog) is a Web publishing tool that allows authors to quickly and easily self-publish text, artwork, links to other blogs or Web sites, and a whole array of other content.

How are blogs created?Blogs are set-up like traditional Web sites, with navigation link, and other standard Web site features.

Blogs have one standard characteristic: the posting. Blog postings are text entries, similar to a diary or journal. Postings include the date and may include photos, links, or other digital media. Postings allow for comments by people other than the author.

Postings are often short and frequently updated. They appear in reverse chronological order and can include archived entries.

Anatomy of a Blog

Ease of Use

Minimum technical knowledge

Quickly and easily created and maintained

Students will find them convenient and accessible via home or library computers

Four Main Purposes...

Classroom ManagementClass blogs can serve as a portal to foster a community of learners. As they are easy to create and update efficiently, they can be used to inform students of class requirements, post handouts, notices, and homework assignments, or act as a question and answer board.

CollaborationBlogs provide a space where teachers and students can work to further develop writing or other skills with the advantage of an instant audience. Teachers can offer instructional tips, and students can practice and benefit from peer review. They also make online mentoring possible. For example, a class of older students can help a class of younger students develop more confidence in their writing skills. Students can also participate in cooperative learning activities that require them to relay research findings, ideas, or suggestions.

....Four Main Purposes

DiscussionsA class blog opens the opportunity for students to discuss topics outside of the classroom. With a blog , every person has an equal opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. Students have time to be reactive to one another and reflective. Teachers can also bring together a group of knowledgeable individuals for a given unit of study for students to network and conference with on a blog.

Student Portfolios (Moodle)Blogs present, organize, and protect student work as digital portfolios. As older entries are archived, developing skills and progress may be analyzed more conveniently. Additionally, as students realize their efforts will be published, they are typically more motivated to produce better writing. Teachers and peers may conference with a student individually on a developing work, and expert or peer mentoring advice can be easily kept for future reference.

Why Blog?

Highly motivating to students, especially those who otherwise might not become participants in classrooms. Excellent opportunities for students to read and write. Effective forums for collaboration and discussion. Powerful tools to enable scaffold learning or mentoring to occur.

Why Blog?

Your Ideas?

Preparing Students for BloggingDetermine that all students' AUPs are in place and up to date. Inform parents of procedures and secure parental permission. Gain administrative support.Teach students safe, acceptable, and sensible behavior as online authors and readers. Review policies and guidelines pertaining to student access. Teach the non-posting rules of no complete names, e-mail accounts, or references to reveal location. Set clear expectations regarding tone, respect, and consequences.

What is a Podcast?

A podcast is a media file that is distributed by subscription (paid or unpaid) over the Internet using RSS or other syndication feeds, for playback on mobile devices (such as MP3 players) and personal computers. Individual MP3 files can also be posted to web pages to make them available for download.

Ideas?World language teachers could record and publish daily practice lessons that students could listen to at homeSocial studies teachers could have their students do oral histories or interviews or reenactments of historical eventsScience teachers could have students narrate labs or dissections or experiments to record their processes.Music teachers could record weekly recitals or special events as podcasts. All teachers could record important parts of what they do in the classroom that can then be archived to the class Weblog and used by students who may have missed the class or just want a refresher on what happened
