1. Share materials, news, downloads, links and more. Anything that you post to your blog will instantly be accessible by your students from school and from home. What’s more, you can easily manage who gets to access them through passwords and privacy measures. This is very helpful to school's now days. I can use my blog to inform students and parents on upcoming information about the Midfield High School band program. The days of sending out paper work are over and I am so glad that it is.
2. Facilitate online discussions and collaboration. Forms can be used on my blog to give out information about discussions and band uni-forms and where the band would like to go for thier spring trip. Students can simply respond to blog posts and discuss topics through comments or on our simple to use forums.Collboration should be the key between parents and students. I hate parents calling my phone and the blog would give them a great way to ask questions.
3. Create a class publication that students can easily publish to and you can easily edit. This makes a great class project. Who wouldn't love to create a music blog.The blog can be used as a website for a class. Just think about it. A student could learn how to blog and use it to start their own blog for a local band or even event's. They could use all type's of designs to create their blog and information.Seamlessly produce a custom designed, finely tuned and engaging collaborative online publication by your class.
4. Replace your newsletter and stay in touch with parents about what is going on in class. Who hates going to the photocopy and run paper work off and pass it out all the time. You can post class information, news, events, and more on something called an edublog. My teacher has got us on these blogs and we can't get off them. I really hate doing a newletter every week so this will help me bye doing it over my blog on my planning period.
5. Get your students blogging so that they can share their work and thoughts
Students can share information with other students from around the world. Information can be used to glue together your students’ blogs which you can quickly create, co-manage, and even edit if needed.One thing, the blog has to be used in the right way. Using edublog, will allow students the right to use their creative to express themself's.
6. Share your lesson plans,we all love planning, right? This will be so helpful.Collaborative work is always great. Teacher from all over the globe caan reflect on your lesson plan and other forms you create.This is very helpful with lesson that you have be having trouble planning.Using an Edublog can turn planning and reflecting on classes into a genuinely productive – and even collaborative – experience.
7. Integrate videos, podcasts, and other media. Podcats and integrate are great to use. Video can be used to make assessment. letting your students get feedback on practice, classwork and other assessment will allow your students to grow.In just a couple of clicks, you can embed online videos, multimedia presentations, slideshows and more right into your Edublog posts. You can also share thought by using programs like present.me.
8. Create blogs for clubs, student groups, events, sports teams, or just about any type of group. I used my blog for class to inform my highschool band program. The information will be provide to keep the kids infrom on event and educational information.Edublogs make it easy to organize groups by keeping everyone informed.
9. Get feedback or gather information, this may be the most important use of ther blog. Getting feedback or comments from information on my blog. I can make a form with information about t-shirt size's and I dont have to make a call or send paper=work out.This is great and a new way for students to give input on related information.You can use comments, forums, or even customized forms to collect feedback, survey data, or ask anyone you’d like to give input or ideas.
10. Create a fully functional website, easy way to use right.One of the great things about Edublogs is that they are much, much more than just blogging tools. In fact, you can use your edublog to create a multi-layered, in-depth, multimedia rich website – that hardly looks like a blog at all.I also am using my blog as my website, adding pictures and other information. Students can read information about me and see pictures of upcoming event's. I love using my blog, it was a great idea to use them for our tech class this summer at Samford.
