Learn to teach with blogs

Tracking students assignment could be nightmare. With trackback feature, a teacher will be notified when students’ work are posted on their own blogs. For example, A is reading B’s blog and and found it interesting. While A writes his blog, he refers to B’s Blog using trackback. He puts the trackback link in his post so B will be notified that his post is referred by someone else. It is a link between two blogs and also an acknowlegement to the original writer.  

For example, a teacher can set a writing task on the teacher’s own blog and asks students to write their posts on their students’ own blogs as assignment and trackback to the teacher’s original post. The teacher can check his post to see if any students have done the work. It’s that easy.
