Survey data from students will be shared as well as exemplars of their work. Learn how to support implementing a blogging community with your own students, including the benefits and roadblocks you may want to consider. The instructor is excited to share this successful project in hopes that you too will realize the benefits of expanding your classroom learning environment beyond the traditional four walls.
