Thing 2

Blogging
When I first started working on my blog, I was not convinced that blogging would be good tool for me. I thought that email would be a better communication tool, not a blog. But as I continued to work on my blog, I started seeing the value and creativity of the blog. In a blog, I could create more interesting things and link it to many sites. At the same time, people could visit my blog and write comments to me. I could see that it would a good tool for me to post messages to my students and for my students to share their learning.

Next year when I will teach Hmong language classes, blogging will be a great tool for my students to practice their writing and to share their learning. They will also be able to connect themselves to other schools as well as to their native country. They may also create lessons for younger students or for their parents at home.

Great ideas on ways for your students to use a blog. It is great writing practice, plus a way to share and save their stories. I hope they like it!
