Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the expectations of what you now need to provide your students?
Feel like there is no time to build a strong rapport with the community while offering a rich 21st-century curriculum?
Blogging might help you in more ways than you could imagine.
Blogs offer many benefits for education:
·
Promotes autonomous learning by providing
opportunities for students to take more control of their learning
·
Motivates students to become better readers and
writers.
·
Promotes discussion among students.
·
Encourages the use of the Internet and the Web
among students (and teachers)
A blog provides students
with an opportunity to demonstrate critical thinking skills and to employ
language and writing principles that demonstrate analytical thought and
comprehension. Blogs also give students a platform from which creative risks
can be taken.
