One of the things that I always mention in my workshops on classroom blogging is the idea that blog posts don’t have to be limited to text. In fact, they don’t need to have text at all if you are having students make video blog entries. Posting video blog entries can be a great way to have students share reflections on things they have learned and experience in your classroom during a week.
Blogger makes it easy to create video blog entries. The following screenshots outline the process for posting video blog entries on Blogger. (The directions assume that you already have created a blog on Blogger).
