Teacher Blogs

Now that you have your students' attention (woah! I can blog in class!?), you should create an instructional blog of your own to guide students.

Your Teacher Blog can include homework instructions, extra credit assignments, outside references, extracurricular resources, etc. Anything you think your students should have access to outside of class instruction and handouts.

The best part is, if a student has a question they can just ask your blog! For example, if you were giving a math assignment and you had the homework problem list posted in your Teacher Blog it could say this:

"Pg 107, Complete #s 1-45 and turn in friday in class."

A student may then read this and wonder, "45 questions? is that right?" Rather than being left to question it, he or she could just comment right back, "Is that 1-45 odd or all 45?" Then when you post an answer any other students could see it as well and save you writing countless e-mails!
