Classroom Blog activity idea
Here’s an idea I’ve been thinking about all week. On Monday of every week the “do now” would ask the students to write down a question, interesting fact or something they would like to know more about regarding the current topic being discussed in class. Then the teacher places all the comments in a basket and picks one or two. The comments are then posted on an education based blog site and other classes in the district or even the country could respond all week. Then on Friday the teacher reviews the responses with the students and asks them to reflect or critique them.
I got really excited when I thought about this and I don’t know if this particular activity has been done before. Has anyone tried something like this? How did it work out?
