Blogging in social studies class

Dr. Siri Anderson, a social studies teacher at West Jr. High here in the Hopkins School District, is doing some great things will blogs in her geography and history classes. Her blogs World Geography Times and History Happenings are a great example of using the weblog medium to communicate class activities and provide a place to collect student writing.

Dr. Anderson’s students are doing some great writing as they journal about the Civil War in history class and take on the leadership of a country in geography class. Cool stuff.
