Insights About Myself Given This Blogging Experience – N. Smith
I have never had a positive impression of blogs prior to this experience. I have seen some blogs were people are ranting on and on about particular topics. I could not see the usefulness of creating and participating in a blog. This experience has changed my impression of blogs. I now see that they can be meaningful tools to communicate information to specific groups of people. In a classroom setting they keep students in tune with what is going on. Students are so accustomed to using technology at home and in their everyday lives; we should continue to build these skills in school. I think so many students are bored because we do not incorporate new learning tools into the subjects that we are teaching. Technology can provide so many resources and many of theme are free to use. I hope to see the school systems provide teachers with more training on how to use emerging technologies in the classroom.

I feel that blogs could be a useful tool in the school setting. I wonder if teachers could have a blog where the students parents could come on there and make posting to the teacher? Do you think that could be possible? That might be one good way for the parents to be able to stay involved in their child's life. The only downfall for doing something like that is the parents who are unable to afford a computer in their home.
