Here are some tips/ideas I thought of regarding how to use the technology of weblogs in teaching:1. Post links to optional/extra credit activities on the blog.
2. Provide an (additional) avenue for parents to be informed, by frequently updating the blog with posts about class activities.
3. Use in class as part of an instructional strategy or activity, by directing students to read subject-related posts and questions on the blog and then directing students to post comments/replies to the posts (this would be be especially good for questions at higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy).
4. Have students collaborate, share, or compare (or alternatively, compete) with other same-subject classes through posting, reading, and/or responding to other class' blogs.
Also, in the social studies realm,
5. Have students take on a historic or geographic role (e.g., Abraham Lincoln or Germany) to create their own blog about, writing as if they are that person, group, or entity.
