Volume 5 - Colleague Collaboration

Blogs can also have a positive effect on instruction through methods that do not directly involve the students. By posting certain methods I use in teaching history and by receiving feedback, comments, criticism, and/or praise from other History teachers, my instruction and methods can not only be improved, but become more well-rounded. Certain aspects of History are more difficult for students to comprehend than others, and with colleague collaboration on ideas of what methods work better for certain eras in history, a more lively, interesting, and effective classroom environment can be created thus creating higher levels of overall comprehension.
