Why using a blog in the English lesson..

A great way having our students write is using a class blog.
We can either have one blog for the entire class or have our students open their own blogs.

They can write about their hobbies,area of interest,  vacations, friends and other things they like. They can also make a Diary Blog, add pictures, links and other information.

The best thing is having student SHARE while writing in English.
They can post on their friends' blogs and/or read posts written by others on their own blog.

For teachers it is a great way to get to know the students and to check their writing and evaluate it.

Can't upload a file to your blog?

On most blogs, files such as Word documents or Power-Point presentation can't be uploaded.

But sometimes we want to share something or to show an activity and can't put it on our blogs..

There is a way we can "upload" a file without actually uploading it to our blog.....

Well, we should upload our file to a shared documents web, such as Scribd or 4Shared and then put the link to it.

for example:



Examples of many teachers' blogs....

Take a look at the hundreds of teachers blogging.... That is absolutely amazing :)
