TEACHERS
Effective modeling of blogging
Teachers can effectively model the blogging process for students by developing a blog to post classroom announcements, calendar, newsletter and happenings. Within a kindergarten room, this might mean simply posting a picture of a paintbrush and the word ‘ART’ on the calendar days that students go to art class. Instead of checking a chart or a bulletin board for this information, students refer to the classroom blog, something they can do at home or at school. A teacher’s blog can become an important and easily accessible resource used to communicate with students, parents, the community, and the world!
