Some students will keep a journal, or write a few things down and keep it locked in a drawer or stashed away in the closet. It's never shared or read, it just sits there collecting dust.
Blogger is a fun, and cool, way to share what's on students' minds. In addition to writing text, students can upload images and photos, embed video, share links, and make comments. Blogger serves as a digital hub for students to have their own voice on the web and organize the world's information from their personal perspective.
With Blogger, students can:
- Blog about summer vacation, with images and videos to support
- Write book reviews from the summer reading list
- Check out upcoming classes and teachers' blogs before the school year starts
- Follow a favorite author's blog for additional insight into a novel
- Embed photos and videos from interesting current events
- Share helpful math tutorials
- Interview scientists and post the transcript
- Reenact a scene from a favorite play (get classmates involved) and post the video
- Comment on other blogs to be part of a great conversation
There are many more ways a student can use Blogger for school and personal interests. But they're not writing, they're Blogging!
