Technology Bloggedness 2

Blog. I love blogs. I really wish we were encouraged to use the process more within our classes. I understand why we don't- too many abusers. But, I am hoping to be able to swing one with my next Honors class.

I have had so many students say, "Oh, Mrs. Deel, there was something I was going to tell you about the (Story, assignment) last night....but I can't remember what it was." Now, I may play stupid on TV, but I'm really not....I know that these same students are on the computer at night. So, my hope is that with a blog, they might write their question/observation out while it's fresh on their mind---between The Hills and Facebooking, mind you...... :-)

Using a blog for school would offer a connection between the home, internet, and classroom that students and teachers would otherwise not have access too. As blogs become more like social networking sites, the particular subject the blog focuses on is better understood and accessed by students from both home and school. I think using blogs for educational purposes would open many more doors for understanding and communication between students and teachers.
