Classroom Website as a Discussion Forum
You can make your classroom website interactive by having features like online discussion forums or blogs. In a forum-based classroom website students can present their views.
Instructional blogging turns passive participants into active participants. Blogging offers excellent opportunities for teachers to provide direct feedback to students and for students to read and comment on each other’s work. Other advantages of using blogs are that student colaboration among each other as well as with the community is encouraged because the blog forum allows for extended discussions and giving direct sudent feedback is easy and can be done asynchronously.
Take a look at some great examples of classroom websites that utilize blogs as instructional tools:
