Blogging in the Classroom

When I am a teacher, I will try to use blogging in my classroom often. I think blogs are a very good tool to get your voice heard. Blogs can be made public and the entire world can hear your story. I think students love this idea, because they are not just writing a paper for the teacher, but they are creating a masterpiece for the world. By using blogging as a writing tool, instead of just the traditional pencil and paper, it gives students an opportunity to do express their ideas in a different fashion. Blogging also helps children to learn what to put on the internet and what not to. This is a very important lesson that some children do not know, and blogging could help to teach this. By using blogging in my classroom, the students have a chance to express their creativity. As a future teacher, I think it is a good idea to incorporate blogging into lessons to get children more involved and excited about learning.
