Have you ever blogged?Wonder what kind of role it could play in your classroom?This workshop will start with the basics of creating a blog, including creating posts, moderating comments, setting up feeds, and customizing the layout.We’ll then examine a variety of different blogs already in use by teachers, mostly from our district, to consider educational applications across all subject matters.Examples include discussions, book clubs, connecting with experts, and reflective practices.We’ll explore how blogs can help students cultivate curiosity, make connections, and develop a voice and identity of their own.Blogs can also motive students, provide context, foster inquiry, and build collaboration.Participants will make their own blog and much of the class time will use the blog environment for our work and conversation.Curious about how targets and standards apply to the world of blogging?We’ll discuss and answer that too as we see how all students can benefit from using blogs.

There are well-dressed people on the top level of the ship. There is laundry hanging near the women and children on the lower level. There is a bridge that seems to lead off the boat.
The photo is black and white and appears to be from the early 20th century. There are men, women, and children. Most are just standing, waiting. Some appear to be aware of the camera, looking directly at the person taking the picture. This appears to be a ship of perhaps immigrants coming to America.
It looks like a boat, there are women and children. The picture is not modern day. It looks like people are waiting for something.
