Blogging

I had never really thought about the idea of blogging until this class. I have learned that there are personal blogs, that people have made to talk about a passion of their's or some people create blogs to teach or promote something in their life. I think it is a good idea to bring blogging into the classroom. I would personally use it for a specific project or maybe to use as a way for parents to go to and see what their child's classroom is doing, instead of putting out a newletter. I like how comments can be posted, so you could respond to the parents if they have a question or just want to say if they like what is happening.

I think that I wont continue my current blog, but in a classroom situation I would definately start one. I think some advice for new bloggers is that its important to keep up with it. I think its a good idea to have a somewhat of a broad topic so that you can expand on the information for a long time.

I enjoyed learning about blogging, I think its a good tool and a different kind of technology to use in the classroom.
