Ideas for setting up a blog for your students
I was glad to see the link in the National Association for Music Education (MENC) newsletter to information on blogging with your students. The opening paragraph on the page reads:
“Today’s students are “digital natives,” says MENC member Kathleen Kerstetter. She uses blogging to give students an audience and an authentic reason to write about music and music experiences, and blogging satisfies requirements for increased written communication and technology literacy.”
Some of the ways that Kerstetter has students blog are to respond to a listening lesson, to reflect on a composition, to blog on their music experiences outside of school, and to evaluate a shared music experience.
You can read the full article in General Music Today if you are a member of MENC.
