Week 4 - 6105

I have been using a blog in my classroom for a while now to upload class notes, but I haven't tapped into the potential of blogs. For teaching math there are a few ideas out there how to incorporate a blog, but with my AP Psychology students the possibilities are endless. It is important on the AP exam that they write carefully constructed essays. A blog is great for getting them thinking and practicing writing essays for the exam. I think it would also be of great value for them to read other students writings and comment on them. It would also be very easy for me to make personalized comments to the students. This is something that is feasible to incorporate next year into my teaching.
