Deb White, 2009 Association of Computer Technology Educators of Maine Educator of the Year, writes about using blogs as an educational tool at freetech4teachers.com.
“Blogs provide students with authentic writing experiences and teachers with powerful tools to help students improve writing skills.”
She continues to say that blogging can give students and effective way to learn valuable writing skills and teach students how to use new technology. In addition, students are motivated and engaged.
Deb uses Kidblog.org with her class:
There are many blogging tools available for teachers to use with their students. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses. My current favorite is Kidblog.org…. It is an extraordinarily easy and free tool to use.
