Motivating Student Writing with Weblogs

By

Bernie Dodge just finished a workshop with K-12 teachers called “Motivating Student Writing with Weblogs” and from the looks of it, there are a few new edubloggers to add to the list. There are also a wealth of resources that you can dig out of the class and participant blogs:

  • A tool to analyzing teen & teacher Weblogs
  • Ideas about blogging policies
  • A template for lesson plans using Weblogs
  • Some pretty good model lesson plans Poetry, Spain Travelblog, Blog as Support Site, Poetry Slam, Blogging the Life Cycle, Writing Friendly Letters, Digital Media Blog and a Mentor Blog.

    Anne was even a guest video participant in the seminar. Great choice.

    All of this is really good stuff that continues to show the flexibility and potential of the tool.
