My Educational Ideas for Blogs

I am an 8th grade Social Studies teacher in Colorado. I am very excited to use my blog page for classroom activities. My idea of how to use my blog page for class would be to set up a weekly critical thinking question about the past week's lessons. I would ask my honor's students and any other student wishing for a challenge to participate. An example of the question would be: "Who was Andrew Jackson?" I would ask for my students to answer each weekly question using their own thoughts and supporting details. I also hope they would respond to their classmates ideas in a positive way.

I would also like to use my page for enrichment activities. My students could check out my page filled with links and ideas for research on specific topics. I want to think of the page as extra for student experts. Blogs are a very good tool for hooking the digital learner into a subject they may not be very interested in learning about in the traditional manner.
