Blogging As A Way of Enhancing Writing.
Blogging can enhance writing in my course by encouraging my students to practice their writing skills in two ways. First, my students can practice their writing skills by posting to the blog. The more they post, the more they practice their writing. The second way that my students can practice their writing skills is by reading the posts of their classmates. By reading other students' posts, my students can see examples of good writing and writng that does not meet expectations.

I totally agree! Not only will it improve their writing, but their reading skills may also improve.
ReplyDeleteHowever, how will the students tell the difference between what meets expectations and what does not? You'd have to clarify that ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting! How will the students know the difference between good writing and writing that does not meet expectations?
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent use of the blog for practicing their computer skills as well as writing skills. Now if only I can become as adept as the students at this. Practice makes perfect, but I have a long way to go!
