Bringing Blogs to the Classroom

B​logging is an effective classroom tool used to exceed learning objectives beyond traditional methods. It offers more than just a platform for writing and sharing ideas. It is a means for teachers to assess, connect, empower, and understand their students. On the season finale, we talk with KidBlog co-founder and teacher Matt Hardy. KidBlog is the world's largest student blogging platform designed for teachers to use in the classroom (including my own). Kidblog provides teachers with the tools to help students publish writing safely online. Kidblog offers a kid-friendly publishing experience suitable for any K-12 student. Kidblog gives students’ writing a meaningful purpose and an authentic audience. Re-imagine writing instruction. Built by teachers, for teachers, Kidblog’s platform is deeply rooted in the pedagogy of writing. Engage students in the process of pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing, publishing, and commenting — Kidblog facilitates feedback and moderation at all stages.
