Blogs In The Classroom
In addition the use of blogs in a classroom can be very helpful and has several advantages as well as some disadvantages. Blogs can be used in a classroom for several different assignments as well as on going projects. A teacher can have their students begin a blog to keep track of how students are progressing throughout school or certain assignments. In addition blogs can be a great source for a discussion area if schools do not have access to a program such as D2L. This would be a good way for students to interact in the same way they do on D2L, and gives them the ability to comment on one another’s postings. In addition, I think that blogs may have a disadvantage if it is the only thing the teacher relies on for the student to have interaction because not all students have access to a computer or do not have a lot of time that they can access a computer if they share it with their parents.
Overall, technology is expanding and there are several ways it can be tied into our education. What do you think is a creative way to tie technology into our education?
