Hi! I am happy to inform you that I created my blog. I learned a lot.at first I read what a web blog is. I got to know that weblog is a journal with a lot of functions to do. At the beginning of my practice I could't navigate www.blogger.com. I followed your advice, Joddi, and changed the language of my operation system. I learned how to create a blog. I was involved in it. At first I created a Google account, and then my blog. I followed the steps how to create a blog. I learned about the types of blogs, about their usage for my work, for class. If you have your webblog you can solve a lot of personal, educational, commercial tasks, objectives you have. Tutor blog help students to learn with more motivation. Students can be motivated to read every day. It helps the teacher to plan his work taking into consideration learner's learning differences. Students practice their computer skills, and begin to love exploring english sites. It is a comfortable learning because pupils can learn perfectly at every step using comment buttons. It provides class. Learning process is clear and it is presented in details.  It is an execellent self-study of pupils. As for learning blogs they "encourage the use of search engines and net surfing in English to find the appropriate sites to which links can be made". It involves our learners to read more and to have choice what to read. Students have individual writing practice, personal expression with free-form templates. They develop a sense of ownership, and get experience with the practical, legal, and ethical issues of creating a Internet document. Besides our learners exchange, share their ideas. The spreading issues are focused on a single website.
The class blog help the teacher to use different activities with pupils. It is not boring for everybody.
"Class blog is a free-form bulletin board, a space for learners to post everything. 
This form facilitates project-based language learning, where learners can develop research and writing skills, create an online resource for others.
It is a way to learn virtually. It is a way to be evaluated by other learners, tutors, parents and friends.
For reading and writing classes, students are involved to know management software, like Userland's Manila. Our learners can be evaluated by classmates, parents, teachers and other people of the world. The usage of a blog for class is great. It is modern, creative, innovative way in our learning process. And may be we will have one international, world learning process in future.

  1. Hi Svetlana,

    Congratulations! Excellent work getting your first blog created and posted! I know it can be quite a bit of a process, but you did it! For my, too, it was rather an adventure when I first created mine. It takes a while to get the hang of it, and I'm still not that good at it, but I learn just a bit more every time I work on it.

  2. Hi Svetlana!
    I agree with your comments, and from next year I would like to form blogs with my older students (aged 11-12).
    However, I would like to add that a blog can lead a teacher become a better professional as s/he is inclined to write more about his/her experiences and, also, if s/he follows others' blogs, s/he can get a lot of interesting things!! Have a good start!

    1. Hi, Georgia! I am looking forward to creating blogs with my students too.I think that the age 11-12 is good for such interesting activity because students at the age of 11-12 have computer skills already. And we become more competent in it.I will develop my web skills with them too. Thank you for your comment!
