The best use of a blog is for an individual seeking feedback – this could be an individual student or an individual teacher. We love blogs because they promote interaction between author and reader, however it is the author that determines the content/discussion focus – not the reader. Therefore, this option works very well when an individual (or even a group of individuals posting to the same blog) are seeking feedback or comments on their ideas and thoughts.

Features of a blog:

• comments from readers extend classroom learning
• personal learning journal

Ideas for classroom blogging:

• a teacher blog to share learning with parents and resources with students
• a classroom blog where all students can contribute but there is one blog to maintain
• individual student blogs linked to a teacher blog to allow individual reflection
