Blogs are easy to set up and students can read each other's work, as well as make comments. They can publish drafts of their work for peer editing or collaborate on a writing project. They can include a copy of the rubric for others to use when reading the written product.</subtitle><link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://raedithr.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8357445/posts/default'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://raedithr.blogspot.com/'/><link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/><author><name>Rae Roberts</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><generator version='7.00' uri='http://www.blogger.com'>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>2</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>25</openSearch:itemsPerPage><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357445.post-110945491223154412</id><published>2005-02-26T16:51:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-03-01T11:05:30.663-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Links (tesol)</title><content type='html'>LINK TIP 1: I have created some links (See Links to the left) that can help teachers with quick and easy exercises using the computer to add to the students' learning experiences.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LINK TIP 2: One can link all of your class blogs together.
