Having technology in the classroom has many benefits. One type of technology that is really taking off is blogging. Blogging helps students of all ages with social skills and confidence, internet safety, literacy, maths, home to school connection, ICT skills, classroom community, global connections, and is a more diverse place for feedback. With so many benefits, I would definitely use blogging in my classroom. I feel like this would really help my kids in the ways of being able to see more than one opinion and feel more free to voice their opinions. Overall, I think blogging and just technology in general, is a win for all teachers.

    Blogging especially helps students improve their writing skills, especially if they are publishing to the world, and not just the teacher or the class.

    It's so cool seeing other people's interpretations of things. And I love how you want your students to see all the variety of opinions!

    I knew blogging was getting popular I just didn't know it was that big already. And your right, it is a good way for people to voice their opinions.

    Your right, I think that blogging can be used as a way to express your own opinion, and see other people's point of views.

    Blogs are a safe way to communicate ideas online because they can be set to private, so I can see how they promote Internet safety among many other things. Good points!

    I like that you mentioned the social aspects of blogging. You can teach through blogs but make it fun by allowing kids to talk to each other about the subjects and ask for help if they need it. Much more fun than reading a textbook or working individually all the time!

    I agree that blogging is such a good way for students to be able to freely express their own opinion while also being able to see other people's opinions on the same matter.

    Technology is absolutely a win for all teachers. I also agree with you that it improves social skills and confidence when it comes to presenting an individual's own ideas.

    I like the many different ways blogging would help students. Also letting them express their own opinion.

    With the kids voicing their appearance online it would be a wonderful thing because it will soon bring confidence with them into the class room.

    I like that you said it helps promote internet safety. I feel like that program is slowly going away.
