What and how do you think blogs would be useful for education?I think, after reading chapter 6, that blogging can be a great asset to the learning environment and experience for children of all ages and all grade levels in the class room. The range of possibilities that Blogs can be used for is almost endless.
The use of technology in the class room is by far not a waist of time. It promotes the use of the human brain to hypothisize, test, colaberate, and comunicate with others to come to a conclussion on a topic.
I was very interested in the use of Wikis. The use of them in the class room could promote research of a subject and publishing of combined works. It is a cool concept.

I think Wikis are interesting too! Hopefully we will learn more about them.
ReplyDeleteBlogs are a very good way to encourage the use of techonology. It also helps teachers and students communicate outside of the classroom.
