Here are some features of what good bloggers do:
- Write a nice catchy title and categorize all of their posts
- Write to the point using clear and effective language
- Beware of grammatical mistakes. No lower case i and incomprehensible sentences
- Be regular and write posts that are not just Homework assignments. They share their world with their readers
- Using Creative Commons pictures wherever possible and site their sources. Or better yet take their own photos to use
- Take risks and figure out how to do things on their own
- Share links and other information through their blogs.
This first month has been a learning experience for us all and yet there have still been several blogs that have stood out in each year group. It was hard to narrow it down to just three. Please take the time to look at the following exemplar blogs; take a look
at some of their post, leave them comments and ask yourself, what are they doing that makes their blogs so effective.
