10 Ways to Use a Blog:

1. Have students create accounts as a tool for discussing assignments and receiving feedback among their peers. (High school age being more appropriate in this scenerio.)
2. Create a blog for the parents of your students to follow. You could include helpful tips and strategies for helping students with their homework and also a way that parents can communicate useful strategies among themselves.
3. As a student in the education program you can use the blog to share ideas among your peers and ask questions about things that you may find challenging.
4. As a student you can share experiences related to observations and reflections of classroom experiences. You can collaberate on the differences in teaching styles found throughout the schools in your community.
5. As a teacher you can create a blog that allows you to share ideas among your collegues when coming up with creative lessons and what standards you may find challenging to teach.
6. You can create a blog around current events and ask your students to post their views and opinions on whats going on in the world. This would be great for debate!
7. If you were an English teacher you could create a blog that would allow students to discuss the book that was being read among your classes. They could give their interpretations of the reading material.
8. If you were teaching Foreign Language you could create a blog in which students could interact with students from that country. This would enable them to talk with students who are fluent in the language  and who are the same age.
9. If you were in Related Arts you could create a blog that would allow students to post videos or images of their work for feedback among their peers.
10. You can create a blog for just about anything that you would find useful, but most importantly it gives you opportunity to get ideas and feedback from anywhere, about anything in the world!
