Blogging is something that I have always heard about but I have never
read any until now. Who knew that it could be so interesting? I
have noticed that reading one blog leads to reading another and another and
time can easily escape you. Blogging is a great way for both new and
experienced teachers to share ideas and help each other. Blogging in the
classroom can be used to share information about the class with school faculty,
students, and their parents. Information such as assignments, class field
trips, and other class happenings are among the many things that can be shared
in a blog.
Blogging has many advantages. It can encourage students to
interact with each other that normally wouldn’t otherwise. Blogs can help
bridge the gap and take down fences that many students have put up when it
comes to certain subjects. It can help them to become more comfortable
with sharing their thoughts and improve necessary language skills such as
reading and writing. Proofreading their own posts and commenting on
others can make them aware of simple mistakes before posting the blog or
comment to the public site.
Along with its advantages blogging does have disadvantages.
Accessibility may be an issue when it comes to getting online to post to the
blog. Most schools have an activity period or time set aside for centers
where the student may be able to work on their blogs during school hours.
Another disadvantage would be monitoring what the students are able to access
and view while setting up their blog. Some things just aren’t appropriate
for eyes of any age.
Some helpful blogs that would be good resources for education
students, such as myself and for current teachers are:
