United States Schools Using Blogs


Marisa L. Dudiak's second-grade class in Frederick Country, Md uses blogs in the classroom. They returned from a field trip from a Native American farm, and all the students wanted to do was talk about what they saw. But instead of leading a discussion about the trip, Mrs. Dudiak had the students sign on to their classroom web log. They wrote about learning to use a bow and arrow, sitting inside a tepee and petting a buffalo. The blogs allowed them to interact with their peers more quickley than a journal and quiet children in class usually come alive online. For teachers blogs rrquire very little effort to maintain unlike web sites. So everyone seems to love doing blogs. For more information about blogs in Marisa L. Dudiak's classroom CLICK HERE.
