Why not blog?

Blogging can provide students with a purpose for writing, and can fit in many curricular areas. You might consider one of the following possibilities to fit your classroom needs: collaborative research on a social studies project, peer editing of writing assignments, group problem solving for math, or sharing of ideas on a science topic.
