Trisha Smart

I teach PE and Health so using a blog in PE is not really practical, however, using it in Health is something I would love to begin doing. I think that using a blog would be a great place to have discussions between students regarding topics discussed in Health. I would love to post a prompt and assign the students to post a comment on how they feel regarding the prompt. They would then have to reply to two other students' comments and discuss the ideas presented by each student. I think that 7th and 8t hgraders would love this assignment and I belive I would get much much more out of my students regarding their ideas and thoughts.
