Benefits of Student Blogging
Here is a short list of the positive results I’ve seen in my own classroom as a result of having students create personal blogs and regularly post their writing.
Students:
- appreciate having an audience for their writing (other than the teacher)
- see the value of revision and application of what they are learning
- improve their writing and produce more polished products
- learn how to give and receive meaningful feedback
- are motivated by creating a personalized platform for writing
- practice online etiquette, safety, and protocol
