Blogging 101

This my first attempt at blogging outside of school. I helped a history teacher last year in my school use blogs with her students through blackboard. Students imagined they were traveling west and used the blog to keep a diary about what their experiences might have been like. The students really enjoyed it. If your school system uses blackboard, you should see if there is a blog tool. It is a great way to have students publish their own work while protecting them at the same time.
