Using Blogging to Showcase Student Writing

This #2ndaryELA Twitter chat was all about blogging in the classroom. Middle school and high school English Language Arts teachers discussed introducing blogging and safe online behaviors to students. Teachers also shared ways blogging can be used to promote student voice and choice.

Read through the chat below to find out .how teachers make their classrooms safe spaces for students to share their writing. You'll get ideas about how to incorporating blogging into what you already are doing. You'll also find out how to find audiences to connect with your students' blogs.

Hope you'll join us next week for another chat. We'd also love for you to join our 2ndaryELA Facebook group (even if you aren't on Twitter). 2ndaryELA is a group of middle and high school English Language Arts teachers looking to share ideas and best practices. This group is an extension of our Twitter chat and a place for collaboration, questions, and encouragement. Feel free to post teaching ideas, success stories, links, photos, etc. that will enhance our instruction.
