Edublogs

** Blogs **  A blog is an online tool, much like a journal, where students can post reflections, reviews, and opinions. Writing on blogs is usually more formal and planned than a discussion board. Blogs also offer a genuine publication opportunity for student writing and allow for comments. There are many free blog hosting sites available, but I recommend [|www.edublogs.org]

**Ways blogs might be used: **
· **Independent reading blogs**—Students keep a blog to reflect on their independent reading…much like a readers response log or journal · **Creative Blogs-**Students take on the persona of a literary character or famous person and blog from their perspective · **Current Event Blog**—students summarize and explain opinions about current events · **To analyze and reflect** on labs or other class activities
