How can I get my students to enthusiastically utilize a class blog such as this one? I have participated in class blogs before, but my participation always felt more like homework than fun and exploratory academic engagement. Is there a way to get students to have fun with a class blog (preferably a way that doesn't entail bribery
)?
I think one of the best ways to get kids to want to utilize a blog is to make the assignments fun. I know that sounds easier said then done but with this weeks assignment based around webquests in think any assignment that poses a question and makes a game out of the research can be a way for the assignment to be fun. Any assignment that forces a student to use their imagination can be fun for all involved.
