One of the initial ideas after reviewing a classmate’s blog was to utilize the blog as source for new pen pals. My student’s currently have pen pals that they contact via snail mail. This part of the blog will allow them to share their learning with a larger community while showcasing their work. One way I am going to utilize this blog is
for my students to showcase the steps and results of their Science Fair
projects. According to Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools
for Classrooms (2010), “The true potential of blogs in schools comes when
students and teachers use them as publishing tools. “As a home school family,
we normally enter a local noncompetitive Science Fair. This year this was not
an option, but I still feel completing the projects is a great activity. As a home school educator I work with students in middle school and high school, the blog will enhance the lesson and motivate the students to work even harder as they know that others will be viewing their work on a regular basis. This will also "prepare students for the next wave of history” (Laureate Education, Producer). The blog will also provide an additional portfolio for each
child.
