Some students find writing to be a chore. Others write to get an assignment done but don't put in any extra effort. There's nothing like blogging to change those attitudes! Students will experience a whole new level of engagement when they are writing for an audience, writing about topics they are interested in, and responding to their classmates' posts. Bring blogging into your classroom, and your students will not only be excited about their work, they will also develop their writing, reading comprehension, critical thinking, digital citizenship, and communication skills.

Parisi and Crosby show you how you can use blogging with any student as a part of any curriculum-not as an add-on, but as an integrated part of your lessons. Learn step by step how to blog, get ideas for your curriculum area, and understand how to manage blogging in the classroom. Get your students blogging, and change how learning happens.

有些学生认为写作是一件苦差事。其他学生则是为了完成作业而写作，但却没有付出任何额外的努力。没有什么比写博客更能改变这些态度的了。当学生为听众写作，写他们感兴趣的话题，并对他们同学的文章作出回应时，他们将体验到一种全新的参与水平。把博客带入你的课堂，你的学生不仅会对他们的工作感到兴奋，他们也会发展他们的写作、阅读理解、批判性思维、数字公民和沟通技能。

Parisi和Crosby向你展示了你如何将博客作为任何课程的一部分与任何学生一起使用--不是作为附加内容，而是作为课程的一个综合部分。一步一步地学习如何写博客，为你的课程领域获得想法，并了解如何在课堂上管理博客。让你的学生写博客，并改变学习的方式。
