Most visitors will scroll through an entire page with photo and video content, so be sure to Identify the types of visuals that appeal to your audience. Then, use those types of visuals to communicate important information.
- Use numbered and bulleted lists
- Use subheadings so that readers can find information easily
- Use shorter, less intimidating paragraphs
- Use bold, italics, or pops of color to highlight important information
- Put important information in images.
In our classroom, the blog has been an effective tool to provide a voice to our students, especially those who are timid and reluctant to share in the classroom setting. It can be used in a variety of ways, teacher lead -with articles or video notes, student lead- with posts on topics relating to our course or their interests. Either way, we are allowing kids to have a medium to share, write and provide critical insight on a topic- and it is fun!
