BLOG PLANNING
Introduction
Think of blog plans as the lesson plan you would write to students if you were out for the day. They are short directions written to guide students to meet lesson objectives. They may include step-by-step instructions, links to articles, videos, rubrics, images, files, or whatever else they need to be successful. Because blog plans are Web-based, they can easily be accessed for future reference. The benefit of using a Web-based tool to plan is that you, your students, parents, and other teachers have access to the resources you use in your class. Get started here by taking the Pre-Assessment.
Check Out Your Colleagues Sites
I used the The Learner Adventure Guide to post my daily warm-ups and to create a Launch Pad for students to explore cool resources. Check out how different teachers use their Web sites to guide their teaching.
Make a Plan
It sounds obvious, but not everyone starts a project with the end in mind. Your Web site is bound to morph as you get more comfortable with all of the features and functions. The first year I used my site, I only used it to post the daily warm-ups. Once I got comfortable with that process, I started posting my whole agenda for the day. Below are some features your site will offer. You'll be using the same tool, Weebly, that was used to build this Web site. Be thinking about what kind of information you'll want to include on your site and what features you'd like to include. You can find more resources to help you with planning at the bottom of this page.
