Shall we give blogging a try?

We have learned how to set up a blog, we have been participating in our own blog with the aim of getting familiar with it. Now it is time to think how feasible it is for you to start a class blog, considering your own context.

I´ve found a blog created by an English teacher in Australia. The name of the blog is The open classroom. I invite you to read the post called blogging in class in 2008. There she tells us about her experience blogging with her students and links us to some samples of her grade 8 and 7 blogs, which I think you should not miss. Take your time to explore some of her previous posts and you will find useful information that can in some way contribute to open our minds to the possibility of using this tool.

It would also be of great value if you shared with us other teachers´ experiences with class blogs that you have come across.
