Blog posts are used much like discussion boards in Canvas. It allows students in different classrooms to interact and discuss their learning. My students already participate through Canvas, but I would like them to have their own blogs as well. I like that students can express themselves in a variety of formats, such as typed responses, videos, and pictures. I t also builds a reference for my students to use later and allows them to measure their growth.

Blogs can be individualized because they can be used as reflection tools. I like the idea I saw on the example blog of using blogs as a way to respond to homework. This is individualized because the students are taking ownership for their own work and sharing their personal reflections.

The ability to comment and leave feedback for others makes it collaborative.

Individualized blogs allow for student to keep an on-going journal of their thoughts and ideas over the year.  It is something that they can keep with them in the future too. This also gives students a place to do some reflection. This would be a good place for students to do their reading response journals that I could go and respond to. The only draw back to this is time to go to each of the students blogs one at a time.

Collaborative blogs allow students to discuss and give constructive criticism to peers and peers outside their own room, however it is not located necessarily on their blog, so they don't get to keep it for future use.
I would use this in Reading to give my students specific questions about a genre that we are exploring and they can answer based on the book they are reading.This will allow others to respond to them if they know the book and have thoughts on it too.

I would use the individual blogs when researching topics, especially in science. I think that the individual blogs help those students that want to have a voice but are unsure of what peers think about them. Also, students can keep this information for the future, if needed.

I will use my blog collaboratively by having students answer prompt questions that could pertain to word problems, fractions, shapes or place value questions through the thread. I think that collaborative approach to blogging is much easier than individual because it is easier to track their responses.

Blogs allow students to take more ownership of their learning and lets them be more creative in all content areas.

I plan to use the collaborative format and the individualized format in my classroom. The collaborative format would be great for students that are working in groups or even responding to homework. The individualized format is also great for students to share their own learning or to do homework.

Blogging is a great format for collaboration. Students are able to answer teacher questions, student questions, write their own blogs, respond to comments. A limitation would be that it can be hard as the teacher to make sure you are viewing all the comments and responding to the comments.

I use the blogging format to blog about classroom happenings for parents. I also use the blogging feature for homework. I plan to continue that next year. I also have resources pages with class information and math/science resources they may need for homework, etc.

With Weebly it is easy to have collaborative blogs with the blogging pages.  Students can answer each other, answer the teacher blog, and respond.  Even though last year was a work in progress, I loved having my homework blog page.  I could reply to a student response and be able to give them higher level questioning.  I love that this can be referred to in the classroom, pulled up on the smartboard, etc.
A limitation is the time. Having time to read each response and reply if needed as well as having students actually go back and read replies.

Collaborative blog posts hosted on my page are MUCH easier to track and follow. Students can easily respond and continue conversations across homerooms. The drawback is that they cannot keep this information for future reflection.

Individualized blog responses will allow the students to keep their entries long after they leave my classroom. Posting on my blog limits the accessibility of their ideas later on.

Both provide an excellent medium for students to interact and express themselves.

Both of these forms could be used in Reading to assess the skills that have been taught.

I will use blogs to discuss lab reports and respond to questions from notes we have taken.

I could see this being used in PE as a way to discuss workouts and fundamentals. Students get ask for health tips that have worked for others.
