Question #3

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 Using blogs is a good way to communicate with other people around the world. Blog is a website were you can post anything without know any codes or technical difficulties. I think blogs would be a great idea for teacher to use. Blog will allow a better communication between the teacher and students. It also would allow the students communicated and discussion like if there were in class. The other thing is that parents would be allow to see what their child are doing at school. For, example they can see what they study and the activities they did at school. By using the blog teacher can also upload documents such as; homework, notes, PowerPoint, discussions etc.. Therefore, I think it would help students have a better education and communication. I do not think is not a waste of time because you can communicate with different people around the world and meet new people.



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

Using the technology to communicate it would allow to communicate fast. One of the fast and easy way to communicate with students is using a blog. Blog will allow students to communicate with their teacher in a fast way. Blog would allow students to use a blog as personal diaries or journals for individuals to post their own thoughts and ideas. Using blogs as virtual field trips offers students the opportunity not only to read about the traveler's experiences but also to interact with scientist, researchers, and explorers in meaningful ways. By using online discussion it would allowed students who needed more processing time to respond to have as they needed to participate in the class's online discussion.
