Blogs in my future classrooms
it seems like blogging could be used in a variety of ways in an art classroom. i like the idea of having a space where students can go to on their own time because sometimes they only have art class once a week. i could use blogger as a space where they post in progress and/or finished pieces and get feedback from me and their peers. i could also use blogs to post a prompt for students to follow. For example in middle school classes on up i could post a piece of art related to the lesson and have students respond to the prompt. this would help build ideas on the topic and get everyones ideas visible and open to discuss and make connections. for elementary aged students i could use blogging as a journal method. After our weekly meetings i could have students write about the objectives of what we learned this week. this will allow students to see what their peers are thinking about the subject and form any new questions they might have.

I like the idea of students taking pics of their art, posting it on their blog, and soliciting feedback. Keep in mind that you'd have to spend a fair amount of time coaching them on how to provide feedback in a non-threatening manner.
