This document provides guidance for teachers on setting up and using blogs in the elementary classroom. It outlines how to create student and teacher accounts on blogging platforms, develop class homepages and blog posts, and choose privacy settings. Potential blog projects are suggested such as a class writing journal, math problem analyses, novel discussions, current events summaries, and vocabulary lessons. Blogs are said to increase student responsibility, enhance computer skills, and provide a collaborative space for sharing ideas while decreasing paper use.
