20 Reasons Why Students Should Be Blogging
I came across a blog post tonight that really sums up why blogging is a valuable tool to be using with your students. I won’t post all 20 reasons here, but rather the one reason that I feel is the most important:
11. Ability to share – part of the conceptual revolution that we are entering. They can share with each other, staff, their parents, the community, and the globe.
Although there are many reasons within the list that are important, I chose this one because it opens our students up to the world of possibility. A world that allows for collaboration and interaction with their parents, friends, classmates, relatives, and many other people that will make their thoughts and ideas become meaningful to more than “just their teacher.”
So, my question to you is this: Which reason did you find the most interesting and why? If you have used blogs with your students, is there a reason you would add to the list?
