So in my technology for teaching class we had to create this blog to share our ideas with each other and I must say I am impressed with what has come from it. We all had to look over 10 other blog posts by our classmates and then comment on their blog and post. I believe it was a great exercise to show the class the power and creativity outlet of blogging.
I can see a use in certain types of classrooms, but possibly not all classrooms. Blogging and commenting on certain assignments can be useful - of course. Unfortunately students who comment on other students work or read students ideas on their blog can become subject to plagiarism - in the sense of building their project or assignment off of another students blog. I believe if the blog was used as only a tool to communicate with one another or simply an outlet for students daily lives that it would be beneficial for said student and those who are inspired by them.
There is much to be learned from this exercise, I take it in to deep consideration. Do you believe blogging can make the sun shine in your classroom or add a few to many storm clouds? Feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions in the comments fellow educators!
I believe that it all matters on your opinion about blogging. For instance we're all still new at it, so I myself have not formed an opinion from blogging nor do i find myself hating it either.
ReplyDeletei think blogging would be useful for additional help outside of the classroom, or for teachers to post their lesson plans. other than that, i don't think there is much it can help with IN the classroom
