Blogging in Education
As a future educator I believe blogging in the classroom is evolutionary and easy to utilize. Everyone is always using the internet and children especially love using technology. Blogging can be done from any device anywhere with internet capabilities.Blogging is a new world creating success.
I would definitely use blogging in my classroom always following the rules of technology use under that school because it is an easy way to communicate with students and parents. It would allow me as a teacher to start and view discussions on topics discussed in class. Those students who may have had something to share in class that did not receive a chance or too shy to speak in front of the class can blog to share their thoughts. Blogging will open the mind of students and help with expressing and build their technology skills.
Blogging has so many advantages. Students can blog with questions about assignments and either the teacher or peers can answer back. The teacher can post assignments and important dates to remember on the blog. The disadvantage would be for those who do not have internet access to utilize the blog tool. There should be rules and consequences to prevent restricted material or comments that sometimes students will share that may not be avoidable from time to time. The teacher should always be observant of the blogs posted.
