Thing 3

My plan of study is Interdisciplinary Studies: Middle Grades 4-8 with an English Cognate. I would like to teach 6-8 grade reading and language arts classes. For either of these disciplines, a blog would be a handy tool. Of course, it can be used for normal updates and information regarding the class, but it could be used to enhance or extend the class day.  I could use tools like word of the day and grammar problems of the day. Extra information regarding the authors or background information on the stories to be read could be included in the blog. I could post questions regarding the reading material and the students would have to comment with the answers. As a discussion board, the blog could be a way to enhance their writing abilities. It could also help them with learning to be respectful to others and their opinions.

  1. I like the ideas you came up with that can go along with the blog tool. Those are good ways for the teachers and the students to keep up with everything and to stay focused.

  2. I have come to realize there are many ways a blog can be useful for a teacher and her classroom. These are some great ideas to keep the lines of communication open for students, parents, and teachers.
