What is a blog? • A Blog (short for "Weblog") is an interactive, personalized Web journal for posting your views, art, rants, raves, reviews, pictures, music-anything that you want to share with the teaming masses (or a private group).
Why Blogs? • To provide extra reading practice for students. • To guide students to online resources appropriate for their level. • To increase the sense of community in a class. • To encourage opportunities for introverted students to express themselves outside the classroom • To promote the use of technology and various teaching materials: audio, video, power point, maps, etc • Easy to assess from students’ perspective
Why Blogs? continued • To stimulate out-of-class discussion. • To follow up, monitor students’ progress after class hours • To accommodate the 21 century requirement of using technology • As an online portfolio of student written work. • To help build a closer relationship between students in large classes. • www.languageday.blogspot.com
