Blog Reflection 3

Blogs can be utilized in the classroom in a variety of ways. Earlier in this course we were challenged to create a Project Based Learning activity that incorporated one of the tools learned in this class. An idea that I had, and would still like to implement, is to use blogs to teach point of view. My students would read the novel The Giver and one each choose a character. The student would be responsible for maintaining a blog from the perspective of that character through the duration of the novel study. Students would be required to comment on other classmate's blogs as if they were their chosen character.
