This document discusses using blogs in the classroom. Blogs allow for easy self-publishing of text, images, and links. They are organized like websites with posts appearing in reverse chronological order. Blogs can be highly motivating for students and encourage skills like reading, collaboration, and writing. They also allow teachers to better manage their classrooms and provide a way for students to connect with classwork and for parents to communicate with teachers. When implementing blogs in the classroom, teachers should review acceptable use policies and netiquette guidelines with students.
