I researched using blogs in an English course. I particularly liked this method because it opens up a variety of tools and options. For instance, being able to read and critique a students paper while they are still in the writing process. As a student, I would have loved to have tips and constructive criticism during the writing process. It also allows for peer review. Peer review is wonderful, because it can help students come up with thoughts and ideas through discussion.
Excellent! A collaborative writing project allows for instant, or continuous feedback. I can't wait to read or hear your thoughts when we work on a writing project with 5th grade students!
