Blogging in Schools Part II

I think this is what Dr. Strange is wanting Teacher Blogs. This site is pretty cool it seem to me like the teacher are able to talk back and forth to one another. For example, a new teacher can get on a talk to an experienced teacher across the nation and get different ideas that seems pretty cool to me. This next site I really like it seem very safe and fun for students and teachers. It has all the safety features on it like the words and phrases filter and anything from a URL or picture that just seem suspicious it has to get administrative approval. I think it could work and I'm definitely going to keep this site for future references. Here's the web site Gaggle Blogs .

Blogging in Schools

I think that this technology with computers has come so far and kids already know more than adults to any way I think that if used and monitored correctly that it could be a very useful tool. I will definitely try to incorporate it into the way that i teach.
I think that blogging in schools and using the internet can be very useful. I think it is a grat opprotunity. I think that it will be very useful when Im teach because at the beginning over the school year i can give my students and parents a blogger link and they can talk back and forth with me and i can tell the parents if there is a problem and i need to talk with them or if there is great news concerning their child.
As, for the child if they have probems on a homework assignment they and send me a message and i can answer them at home. There are so many ways that we could make this work if we all embrass it and moniter it made sure that there is not obseen things being said or done on there. And also the kids would be able to ask each other for help or just get to know one another. I think it is great.
