Blogging with Students

Last week I had my students create blog posts using this very resource. In my World History class we were discussing absolute rulers throughout Europe and as a way to help distinguish them from one another. My students were split into groups and chose a specific monarch to work with. The goal was to create a sort of campaign working with the claim that their ruler was the "most" absolute. They had several difference criteria to include in this campaign and their final product was posted to the blog for the class to see. Once everyone posted we pulled them up on the SMARTboard and had a class discussion and vote to see who made the strongest case for their monarch. See the example below for an idea of what they were able to do.
