Personal Review
I had never thought of blogging as a way for students to collaborate,
but only as a way for one to share their feelings.
Group projects commonly use emails, but by the use of blogs, group
members are better able to see the viewpoints of others to put together
a better project

8. Bringing Blogs into the
Classroom
It is interesting how the whole class format is based off of blogs
While I have had classes utilize blogs, it has never been the primary source of
communication
Would today’s students be up for have a blog class?
I feel as though this would depend on the student and their willingness to try new
things

“Classroom blogs are a powerful way to combine the best
of education with the best of technology”
As new technologies arise, educators must use these in order
for their students to not fall

driven society.
Teachers have to stay on top of technology in order to not
allow their colleagues to get ahead and better educate their
students

These blogs allows the students to express their view, as
well as read what other students are saying
