Photoblogging can be used as an educational tool in the classroom for several reasons: it is easy to use, promotes digital literacy, allows for differentiation of instruction, and expands the virtual classroom. It also provides opportunities for student collaboration and discussion as well as a resource for students and parents. Considerations for using photoblogging include ensuring access to technology, managing privacy settings, reviewing posts to avoid censorship issues, and aligning with school policy. Examples provided demonstrate using photoblogging for a geometry class photo assignment identifying quadrilaterals and an environmental science assignment on reducing water waste.

4. Our use of Photoblogging-- Application
Geometry class: Have students post pictures of quadrilaterals
around their homes and comment about the properties of the
quadrilateral. This is used as a review for the test on
quadrilaterals.
Environmental Science: Students will take pictures of
objects in their homes that waste water and post a comment
explaining how that object wastes water and what can be done
to reduce water waste.
