Our society basically lives on the internet; social media has exploded and students of all ages are going online and accessing various sites. If we make an interesting blog, or even just use a blog as a way to communicate with our students and give assignments, I think they will respond positively.
Blogs can be used to communicate with parents as well, and to display resources for parents, students, and other teachers. Blogs can also be used to open discussions on various topics. We can also have our students create their own blogs as part of assignments.
We also have to have clear guidelines about posting and commenting to avoid potential issues. Cyber-bullying has become a clear and present danger, and if we're requiring our students to blog or comment on blogs, we have to monitor this process closely.
