Blogging in the Classroom
This topic is something new to me. When you let the topic just brush your mind you would think something like this makes no sense, but when you let it rest and sit in a little, this idea actually seems brilliant. The article "That's online writing, not boring school writing with blogs ans the Talkback Project" really allows one to see the bright side of blogging. Children in the 21st Century love electronics. What better way to reach them but through a computer. A computer may let a student feel like they're free to express themselves; its something new and outside of the box. When the students blog and post their writings others may view and comment. The positive with this is that the students may receive new ideas or views on certain novels or articles which in the long run can span their horizon. Overall, I think blogging in the classroom seems to be a great and effective idea.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I think that blogging could become a staple in the classroom. I remember loving to be able to work on computers when I was younger, and I am sure that it is still the same way today!
