Blogs in the Classroom

What do you think about using blogs? What and how do you think blogs would be useful for education? Some people think using blogs in classrooms is a waste of students’ time. How would you respond?

I think blogs are a good way for teachers to involve their students in their curriculum through technology. I think that in today's society technology is one of the most important things a student needs to learn; if a student can better acquaint themselves with technology while also covering a core curriculum, I think it is a great idea.

What are some ways that you could use he technology ideas in Chapter 6 to support your curriculum and student learners?

I think that the ideas in this chapter are useful in many ways. I think it would be good to use blogs for some assignments, saving paperwork etc. I think that it would also be good for students to be able to talk and interact with each other and their teacher without having to be in a classroom.
