Mod 2 Reasons and Standards for using blogs


Ways to use blogs with my own students
Using blogs, I could communicate with my students about the homework or the content in the class. Before the class, I could upload some reading materials or website links which are going to be taught in the class. It allows students to have a preview before the class. Also, I can design some discussing questions and let them think about by themselves and have a discussion during the official class.

Ways to use blogs with my own professional development
Through blogs, students can upload their assignments to me, which can save a lot of time and being paperless. In addition, they can also give me some feedbacks about the course, the homework or recommendations and ideas about how to improve the learning outcomes. Also, students can ask questions on the blogs and when can have a discussion together.


Communication and Collaboration
Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others. Students:
a.interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media.
b.communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and formats.
c.develop cultural understanding and global awareness by engaging with learners of other cultures.
d.contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems.

    You have chosen some good ways to use blogs. Now rethink which learning standards would be met by using blogs the way you describe.

    You should not have all the standards listed. Please revise your post to just include the ones that correlate best with your ideas for using blogs.

    Rui- Blogs are the perfect way to communicate with students about homework and upcoming assignments- I like that you are the organized and prepared type that will have materials and lessons posted on your blog ahead of time, so students can know what to expect.

    I agree with your opinions. But I think your blog will be more attractive if you make it colorful.^ ^

    Rui,

    I like that you look at your blog as a way to be environmental and "go green". I think it's an important concept to teach our students. You also address the convience of utilizing your blog as a better way of keeping in touch with your students, which is very nice. It does give our students better access to us, and can help us to address any issues or problems they might be having early on.
