Blogs in Today's Classroom

I am not too familiar with blogging. However, learning to blog is fun and interesting. Teachers should learn about new technology that is available for students to increase learning and interaction. There are many practical uses for a teacher to maintain a blog including communicating with students, teachers, and parents and providing important classroom and school information and updates. Also, pictures and videos of importance to the curriculum can be posted for all to enjoy.

Students may feel more acquainted with the new technology and blogging in general. It is important that students understand how to use the Internet responsibly and safely. The world is literally at the fingertips of our students to use as a powerful, interesting, and empowering tool. Through interaction and communication with other students from different regions of the world, students can enlarge their knowledge base to cultures and students they may never come across in their daily lives. It is exciting to contemplate the numerous ways technology can be integrated into the curriculum! So fun!!!!
