Blogs in the Classroom

The more and more I get involved in this class EDT 5372 I realize how important technology is and will become in the near future. I understand the importance of “mass communication” and the important we as teacher must use all outlets to reach all my students in all aspects of teaching and learning. Using Blogs in my class can help my students connect with the teachers, students and school to be in touch with all assignments and important information they might have missed. The following may result by using blogs in the class and create opportunities to increase in the following areas1. Group project participation will increase due to the opportunity the individual may see beyond the classroom, 2.collaborative assignments within the students of classroom, other subjects, other schools or even other students around the world, 3. Blogs can also be used as a reference point to ask question about assignments to teachers and their peers. (Tutoring online) and 4.) it can also give students the opportunity experience collaboration, the importance of preparation and the importance of technology driven instruction. Using blogs in education allows students to always be communicated and give them another outlet to reach their learning goals, teachers the ability to reach every student in the classroom, and parents the ability to see what their son or daughter is learning or progression in the classroom. Blogs ability to be more educational centered than face book, twitter or other mass forms communications give students the opportunity have a learning centered environment that may create a step by step learning opportunity that reaches all types of learning abilities and give students the ability to speak freely with respect. The importance of a students to be heard is very important to them.
