Blogs in the Classroom
I'm so anxious and excited to learn more about using technology in the classroom. I believe it will really help me connect with my students as technology is often their "language" these days. I think that using blogs can be a great help in educational settings. For instance, I'd like to have each student blog about what they've learned that week, what activities they enjoyed/found beneficial, etc. It's extremely important that students have the opportunity to reflect on what they're learning and blogs provide a wonderful way to do that. Blogs could also be a great way to promote unity within the classroom. I'd encourage them to talk about how we can make our classroom environment more positive and uplifting. I'm excited to continue learning about the many ways blogs could help my students learn.

I think that it would be really fun to have a classroom community online. You would need to set up 'procedures' of how they are supposed to comment so that they do keep their correct grammar and that they are polite to one another.
ReplyDeleteI really like what you said about needing to connect with your students by using technology.. It is a fast-paced world, and it's hard to relate to the rising generation. So using a blog would help the teacher and the student relate to each other, and have a greater communication.
