As a middle school writing teacher I was always hungry for ways to connect my students with authentic audiences. I set up liteary bulletin board systems in the 80's to publish student writing. Now that blogs can bring anyone's writing to an international audience, it's seems (to me) that classroom blogging is a no brainer. However, many teachers just won't go there. And many students don't really get it. This article provides sound advice for anyone 'getting into' blogging. Delete the scoop?

Una guía e itinerario para usar el blog en el aula como medio de expresión en textos multimodales con todas las inteligencias; reflexión, compromiso ciudadano, impacto social. Desde mi experiencia, lo que vale de veras es que el blog sea colaborativo y que se consiga el objetivo estrella: que los aprendices sean los protagonistas. El blog sirve para darle la vuelta a la clase y articular los nuevos roles del aprendizaje: docentes, procuradores de contenidos, (re)creadores. Delete the scoop?

How to set up a blog in your classroom.... Many teachers have started to experiment with blogs. For some, a blog is an electronic notebook -- one students can't lose (or claim the dog ate). For others, it's a forum where a class discussion can unfold 24/7. Either way, blogging can be a powerful educational tool. Suggestions for setting up a classroom blog follow. (Keep in mind that these ideas assume student access to computers and the Internet.)

Not only do we need skills for expository, creative, persuasive and technical writing, but we often write about topics for which we know very little at first. Furthermore, our writing is expected to be motivating while clearly delivering concepts, procedures and facts. Via Alfredo Calderon, Luciana Viter, Ken Morrison, Jim Lerman

thinkstock By Shelley Wright As an English teacher, I’ve had numerous conversations with college professors who lament the writing skills of their first year students. But not all writing. Most students are capable of solid expository writing. It’s their skill with persuasive writing that’s the problem. Specifically, they’re weak at writing a thesis statement that can be argued.
