We now have the capability at my school for our students to blog on our teacher websites! I am so excited when I think of all of the possibilities. I want to make it a requirement that each student gets on 1-2 times a week and blogs on our website about a discussion topic. I can pose an open-ended question about a book we read or they can post a discussion topic as well. As a teacher, I can use blogging as an assessment and quickly see which students are understanding a topic we are discussing!

Click on my picture to go to my SchoolFusion page. I have an example of the first time I tried blogging with my students. We were blogging about a fairytale webquest they were completing.
I think it is great that your school as a whole as set this up! I wish our school would do this! I think it's a great idea to require them to get on and blog a few times a week! I can't wait to get something like this started in my own class.
