Blog for Classroom Use

http://kesler.proboards38.com/

The focus of this blog is Junior and Senior Language Arts topics. Ms. Kesler and I discussed using blogs with her students and she set this one up for her students to use last year. She felt it was successful in providing a forum where students felt comfortable posting their thoughts and could have the opportunity to comment on each others’ posting. She plans on using it again later in this school year. What I like about this blog and other teacher/student blogs is the freedom of expression the student feels in a blog environment. Many students who will not make a lot of comments in class, will do so in an environment like this one. I do not care for the ads on this particular blog. There is an option to make it ad free, however there is a cost involved.
