The Pedagogy of Blogs

On Mrs. M's class blog, 2mgems, each student had a "blogfolio" where they posted about themselves, how they learn, and what they are learning about. I love this idea of a blogfolio!

In a sixth grade class at Oakridge Elementary, they use this blog to reflect on learning.

The purpose behind having a blog in a classroom is to encourage interaction and discussions among students. Blogs allow students to see other students work, comment, and it allows them to take ownership of their work

On this blog, the teacher actually posts their writing assignment and requires each student to post their response.
