I think private and public blogs are useful in different ways. Of course, I wouldn’t want a public blog for my 2nd graders to post something about writing. I would also be fearful about posting in a public blog for the safety of my students.
I think it’s a great idea to have student blogs. It’s a way for students to be accountable for their own work because they will know that others can view it (not just the teacher). It would be great for parents too, because they can see things that are going on in the classroom. Plus, I know my 2nd graders would be proud to show their parents what they are doing and writing about. I think that it would be fun for students to view other’s posts to stories or something like that.
My concern with blogging is that some students are not going to be able to do it from home because of their internet access. So, with that being said, it would be hard to do any consistent work with the blog because we don’t always have access to the computers at our school. Some students would definitely be at an advantage over others because of the internet access at home.
