Summarising views, with blog
A fine example for a teacher using his blog to summarise views posted by some students in class about their lessons in class for all to view.
See how Rick West did it in his blog 🙂
(Check out Will R.’s post for more examples on edublogs)
Assignment thru blog
A simple yet effective example of how assignment can be posted in a teacher’s blog 🙂
Meet the Author – thru Blog !
Read this off Will R.’s post. How exciting!
Instead of waiting for a chance to meet an renowned author (which may never come) f2f just to ask 1 or 2 question, or in the case of answering one to one through email, the author is able to answer queries for all to see simply by posting the questions and answering them thru a blog and its commenting feature!
Take a look at the blog and I am sure you will also be attracted by the 144 comments to a post just like I do. Cant help being more and more excited after reading comments after comments 🙂
