Eighth Graders learn Social Studies through blogging
An eight grade teacher has her students blog. I like her attitude that her students need to learn computers. This is a great way to teach students to how to communicate effectively online as well as learn important issues affecting today’s society.Students use blogs to study the world
“I’m not the greatest computer person in the world,” said Chamberlin, who teaches at St. Roch School on Indianapolis’ Southside. “But they have to be.”The students spent class Thursday in front of computers researching world issues online and writing short entries in a journallike format on a Web site. Each blog focuses on a single issue.
