Student Blogging…..How Do You Do What You Do?

Modified on by

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. Just as there are numerous ways to engage your students in using blogs.

Since we all learn better by sharing I’m hoping that you will share your experiences of student blogging by leaving a comment or write a post about:

  1. What are the procedures and steps you follow to set up your blogs (or usernames) and introduce your students to blogging?
  2. What challenges have you faced with student blogging and what advice would you give other educators to help them minimise/avoid these?

Don’t forget to leave examples of your excellent class and student blog posts so I can drop past and check them out!

What Do Your Students Really Think About Blogging?

The student and class bloggers have been working hard and submitted some incredible entries for The Edublogger’s Student Competition.  Strongly recommend you read through the comments to follow links across to their posts.  Definitely will be showcasing these posts over the next few weeks.

To get us started I’m hoping you can help out!

Hayley and Sophie have both created different blogging surveys for students to complete.  I’m looking forward to their analysis of the responses (as others probably are).  Obviously the more responses the better — so could you please ask your students to drop past and complete their surveys?

Both surveys have been created using Survey Monkey and will only take a few minutes to complete.  Each have asked different questions!

Here’s Haley’s survey!

Plus I’m sure both Hayley and Sophie would love you to drop past their blogs and leave a comment about your thoughts!

I’m sure they would love your feedback on:

  1. What did you think of the idea of the survey?
  2. How did you find the questions?
  3. Are there any questions you would have added or changed?

FINAL THOUGHTS

Remember any class or student blogger can enter The Edublogger’s Student Competition – you have until April 30.
