Endless Possibilities...

Expanding upon my previous idea of having the children post one fact per week I could focus the lesson in on individual subjects. It is nice to begin by letting the students post a fact about anything that they are interested in, but I could turn it into a lesson by assigning one post per day about a different subject. I would still leave one day for them to post about any fact that is interesting to them. For example I could have:
  • Monday Fun Day- students can post about anything that interests them.
  • Math Whiz Tuesday- students post about something new that they learned in math class.
  • Wednesday Mad Scientists- students post about a new or interesting science fact.
  • Bookworm Thursday- students can make comments about a favorite class reading or fun fact about an individual library book they enjoy.
  • Artsy Friday- students talk about their favorite art project from the week.
This way the blog would be helping them to really focus into each of their school subjects. I would let the students collaborate and discuss with other classmates to help them decide what they would like to post about, and they would be required to comment on one other student's post per day. If they did do the comment each day, then I would know that they are learning in all areas of the subject matter being taught because each day would focus on a different subject. My goal for the students would be for them to really be engaging in the class lessons and with each other so that they take enough information away to create a fun blog post. This way blogging would be fun and exciting not just another assignment.

    I like how each day is a different fun topic. That is a fun way to engage your students in the activities.

    I think this is a great way to check student understanding. If they didn't understand the subject material, you would be able to tell by their comments on other students' blogs. Then you can see what you need to go over in more detail later on.

    I love the blog categories for the different days of the week. This would give the students structure and also something to look forward to! Great idea! :)

    I love this idea and would probably reengineer it towards an english activity.

    I love your weekly blogging names, they're so creative. I think having your students blog about different topics is a great way for them to get more experience with the subject.

    Like how you have the different subjects into each day of the week. That's a good way for them to still do their work as well as blog.
