Still Blogging
So this has been an entertaining blogging experience. It's been nice to see everyone's opinions on how they would like to use blogging in their classroom and what they think of blogging in general. Actually the whole class has actually been fun. I'm learning a lot about podcasts, blogging, and wikis. I actually feel pretty in the loop with my friends now. Anyway, so my opinion on blogging is pretty neutral. I think it's a lot of fun for my personal use, but I'm not sure that I would use it in a classroom setting. I think the students would enjoy the idea, but I would want to have a little more control on what they're blogging about. I think parents might appreciate written journals instead of blogging because for some of them blogging is a whole new medium that they are not familiar with. They not want their children on the computer that much and they also would probably like to feel that they have more of a handle on what is going on with their child and computer related work.

Another idea is that the parents would have access to what the students are writing too. They might not be able to respond but the teacher could give them the address so they could read the journal type assignment. That might be more than what they would be able to do otherwise.

That's a good idea. I hadn't thought of that. I'm sure the parents would like to see what their children are doing as well as their progress in writing.
