Three Ways to Effectively Use a Blog:
1. Students can respond to a discussion question posted by the teacher once a week. The student in turn will also be required to respond to another students posting with a thoughtful response.
2. Students could also use the blog to assist each other in their learning. Such as if their is a concept they are struggling in they can post their questions to other students for answers. This will encourage collaborative learning groups.
3. Students and parents could use the blog to voice concerns and keep track of what their child is learning.

What's Your Purpose?
Are your lessons intentional?
Do you provide immediate feedback to students?
How do you use technology in the classroom to make real world connections?
I know all of the questions above are all questions we have heard before, but have you ever taken the time to actually reflect and improve?
Students need immediate feedback to help them to gain small
successes and understanding. Technology should be the vehicle that teachers
use to make this happen.
Purposeful Tip to Try:
Online quizzes are a great instrument for immediate feedback. Even if all of your students do not have a computer, you can always set a time to take them to a lab or have an online quiz that students can do on your computer. This may be after completing an assignment, or an alternative assignment for a struggling student. This website has been one that I used again and again because it allows you to create FREE online quizzes for students. They can be multiple choice or short answer. The short answer section allows you to have Higher Order questioning.

This was a simple quiz I created as a basic knowledge quick check.
