Blogger can be very helpful in the classroom. Some teachers may veer away from it because it it may seem intimidating, but the benefits are great! Blogging can help the students express and reflect in ways that maybe they can not on paper. Blog can be used as a tool to type up reflections on a specific reading. Blog can be useful for an ELA activity in the classroom. The students can relate to certain content and discuss it in their blog website. The students can then share their ideas with the other students. Blog can act as a great communication builder by letting the students explore each others ideas and opinions. The Blog can also be a great tool in a creative writing activity. The students can have the ability to write about whatever topic they choose and just let their imagination run wild.
Teachers can also use blog to view the student's work in a more productive way. If I was the teacher, I could have an easier time overlooking my student's progress with their assigned readings. I could easily get access to their writing without having to scrummage through all my papers to find a certain student's paper. Blogger enables the teacher to keep an organized file of the student's classwork. I know that the students would enjoy working with Blogger because they are familiar with technology and by integrating technology in the classwork, the student may find more interest in their assignments.
I agree. I think that blogger will be one of the most used tools for both myself and the students themselves to communicate and therefore enforce the daily lessons.
