What is a blog?
A blog is a type of website in which there are frequent updates that appear in reverse-chronological order.
What a classroom blog can do.
A classroom blog allows a teacher to communicate with parents about what is going on in the classroom and what their child is doing in school. It improves the link between school and home.
What kind of information can you share a classroom blog?
Here are some ideas to get you started. Please share your ideas for additional uses.
- Weekly classroom updates. E.g., Here's what we did in class this week.
Get your students involved - what activities, events, learning do they think you should write about? - Post classroom news. E.g., upcoming events, field trip information, exam schedules.
- Create a list of helpful resources and website links to helpful content online or online textbooks.
- Post classroom expectations, syllabi, code of content, etc.
- Post homework assignments.
- Add your class google calendar.
- Provide further assignments for students to work on.
- Post weekly challenges (riddles, brainteasers) that require your students to think creatively and critically. Have students post their answers online and then discuss the solution as a class at the end of the week.
- Communicate, communicate, communicate.
