Blogs at school
As a middle-school teacher, Clarence Fisher is used to spending some time each evening grading papers and reviewing lesson plans. But this year he’s got an additional after-school task: updating his students’ blogs.Fisher set up online personal journals–Web logs or blogs–this fall for each of his students at Joseph H. Kerr School in the Canadian town of Snow Lake, Manitoba. His combined seventh- and eighth-grade class generates about a dozen entries a day on topics ranging from classroom assignments to weekend plans, which Fisher reviews before posting online.
I think that blogging could be a great tool in teaching. Pretty neat stuff.
