This year in United States history class, the students are going to be blogging throughout the year. I've always wanted to try having the students blog their thoughts. I'm a really big fan of having my students write about history. Blogs give them an opportunity to be creative in their design and learn a cool modern skill. Many people have blogs nowadays. In fact, many people are making money off of writing a very interesting and well designed blog. Of course, my students will not be putting advertising on their blogs to make money, but some of them might find blogging to be fun and may start a blog on a personal interest of theirs. This will be a fun year trying out the blogging format for class and I'm sure I'll find some hiccups along the way, but it will be worth it.
