Classroom Blogging – What not to do?

Posted in Uncategorized by Tim Sparks on the March 6, 2008



Over the last few week I have built up my blog page and have become used to blogging and looking at other people’s blogs. During this time I have been wondering if this would be a valuable tool to use in the classroom. I think it is, only if it is used correctly. The 5 Don’ts of Classroom Blogging post Samantha has posted provided some good points to remember when blogging in the classroom.

Each point is something that must be in the mind of a classroom teacher wishing to use a Blog page in their teaching endevours. The points are:
1.DON’T just dive in.
2.DON’T confuse blogging with social networking.
3.DON’T leap at the freebies.
4.DON’T force a sequential style.
5.DON’T leave the blogging to the students.
