I can have students extend their thinking and force them to "prove" their statements. Accountable talk is a huge push in our school and I think this is a great way to have other students search responses for appropriate support. I would be interested to see a teacher discussing the ups and downs of implementing blogs in the classroom. How do they manage it? When is it done?Rosinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10871322757102978839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3510090975188279548.post-71744719769130252842013-02-03T13:45:03.935-08:002013-02-03T13:45:03.935-08:00That was a great video on the benefits of blogging...That was a great video on the benefits of blogging in the classroom. Thanks, Lesley! I do agree that it is beneficial on so many fronts in the world of teaching literacy. First, and foremost, students cant wait to use technology and love the act of typing and pushing buttons. This alone makes blogging in the classroom a hit with students. As they blog, respond to blogs, they are practicing the skills of a good writer and thinking critically as they respond. So many benefits....but, the biggest I would say is the fact that they are eager to use technology and to learn with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
