You might like to simply send students to this list, or handpick a few blogs that you&#8217;d like your class to look at specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blog exploration could be a whole class exercise or students could work in small groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may like to prompt students with a series of questions you&#8217;d like them to take note on, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is the writing style like on the blog &#8212; casual, formal, academic?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What safety or blogging guidelines can you find on the blog?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How are pages used for static information?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are the posts time specific or &#8216;evergreen&#8217;?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What images and multimedia are being used?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is there a sidebar?

It can make the abstract concept of blogging really concrete for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the basic steps you&#8217;d follow to try paper blogging:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have students handwrite a blog post on paper (make it simple, like a hobby or recount of something that happened at school).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put paper blog posts on walls or around the room for everyone to read.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using sticky notes, all the other students can comment on the paper blog posts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can have discussions about what makes a great comment and how blogging can create a community in your classroom.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-2-1bltufp-xzoizc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"208\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-2-1bltufp-xzoizc-208x250.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14023\" style=\"width:215px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-2-1bltufp-xzoizc-208x250.jpg 208w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-2-1bltufp-xzoizc-768x924.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-2-1bltufp-xzoizc-851x1024.jpg 851w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-2-1bltufp-xzoizc-1080x1299.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-2-1bltufp-xzoizc.jpg 1330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 208px) 100vw, 208px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: Karen McMillan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-1-1xiwl2b-10qfljt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-1-1xiwl2b-10qfljt-250x167.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14022\" style=\"width:383px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-1-1xiwl2b-10qfljt-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-1-1xiwl2b-10qfljt-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-1-1xiwl2b-10qfljt-1080x720.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Paper-blogging-1-1xiwl2b-10qfljt.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: Karen McMillan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5) Safety Guidelines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to discuss or inform students of your safety guidelines for your blog ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As students are exploring other blogs, you might have them look at safety guidelines to see what information is being published. Have them consider what information might be kept private? What are they <em>not<\/em> seeing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visual below might provide some useful reminders or discussion starters. While there are many things that definitely shouldn\u2019t be shared in your blog posts and comments (YAPPY), there are some grey areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students should be encouraged to think before they post and always discuss anything they&#8217;re unsure about with an adult before posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kathleenamorris.com\/2018\/06\/12\/digital-footprints\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/08\/YAPPY-2n1vu5i-1jq5jwc.png\" alt=\"Information about what information should not be published online\" class=\"wp-image-13773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/08\/YAPPY-2n1vu5i-1jq5jwc.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/08\/YAPPY-2n1vu5i-1jq5jwc-250x125.png 250w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/08\/YAPPY-2n1vu5i-1jq5jwc-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6) Begin With The Teacher Posting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the teacher publish posts first, and having the students comment can be a really good way to set the scene for a quality blogging program. It gives you the opportunity to teach the students explicitly about quality commenting while helping them learn the basics of blogging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you want students to be publishing&nbsp;posts down the track, strongly consider having the teacher publish first. This could even be an introductory post where students can practice leaving quality comments to introduce themselves and answer comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having the teacher post and students comment might be the model you continue with for the whole year, or after a post or two, you might have students post on the class blog, or on their own blogs. Often, this depends on age and experience as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many teachers like to give a gradual release of responsibility as demonstrated in the graphic below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Blogging-skills-progression-Edublogs-11xhb6d-269omed.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"973\" height=\"507\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Blogging-skills-progression-Edublogs-11xhb6d-269omed.png\" alt=\"Blogging skills progression -- class blog to student blogs Edublogs\" class=\"wp-image-14030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Blogging-skills-progression-Edublogs-11xhb6d-269omed.png 973w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Blogging-skills-progression-Edublogs-11xhb6d-269omed-250x130.png 250w, https:\/\/www.theedublogger.com\/files\/2018\/09\/Blogging-skills-progression-Edublogs-11xhb6d-269omed-768x400.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 973px) 100vw, 973px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*Note<\/strong> the option for students to &#8216;earn a blog&#8217; is something some teachers try if they&#8217;re just starting out, teach young children, or face obstacles like limited technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some teachers also have a selected group of interested students set up a blog &#8212; perhaps in the style of a &#8216;blogging club&#8217;. This leads to our next idea&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7) Have Students Lead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teachers don&#8217;t have to be the expert when it comes to setting up your blogging program. While you&#8217;ll definitely want to keep an eye on things, especially in terms of what&#8217;s being published and your safety guidelines, you can have students help other students learn about blogging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps you could have a small group of students dedicate some time to learning about blogging (perhaps through the Student Blogging Bootcamp &#8212; see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your &#8216;tech-perts&#8217; could then come up with some activities to introduce the rest of the class to the blog. I&#8217;ve even heard of students in classes setting up &#8216;online courses&#8217; for other students in their class!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8) Student Blogging Bootcamp<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in assigning your students a self-paced course which walks them through the process of setting up their own blog, check out our free <a href=\"https:\/\/studentchallenge.edublogs.org\/blogging-bootcamp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Student Blogging Bootcamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 10 steps in the course. You could assign students one step per period, or let them work through the whole series at their own pace. Alternatively, you could pick and choose and just assign students a handful of the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a look through the course and see what would work for your class!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9) Student Blogging Challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every March and September, the 8 week <a href=\"https:\/\/studentchallenge.edublogs.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Student Blogging Challenge<\/a> is held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge is made up of a series of 8 weekly tasks all designed to improve blogging and commenting skills while connecting students with a global audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Student Blogging Challenge is totally free and open to students or classes from all over the world, using any blogging platform.
