One more weblog possibility…..
Tessie, from the Literature Circles group poses this possibility…….
“As we have all learned, weblogs can be used with students in Language Arts for book clubs. However, I would do something different and use weblogs in Science and/or Social Studies. Students could be assigned to groups similar to us. The teacher assigns each group to a different research topic (the topics chosen by the teacher cover a QCC objective and will be or have been taught). For example, World War I.
The departments for these weblogs would be more specific such as terms, important people, causes, effects, and culture. The students would be responsible for finding one fact to post to each of these departments. For example, if posting to “effect” the student would report one effect of World War I. After two months, students are expected to have posted in all departments and the research is complete. The groups must then present their weblog projects to the class. This allows your students to teach and learn from one another.”
