Technology Day's

I think it is important to get my students familiar with using a blog because our generation is basically run off of technology. Students need to know how to post things and publish them so that their classmates can see and work off of their ideas.  As a teacher I will help students to build a blog but only for school purposes. It is very important to make sure and be able to track their progress because we don't want to be opening them up to inappropriate things on the Internet.  My students will learn how to look up information on the Web and publish it on their blog. I think blogs can also keep the students from becoming nervous because they won't have to get in front of the class and read their papers. I know this can make students shy and embarrassed about their work. In my class we will be able to post anything about a topic and feel confident because for one it is on a blog, and for two their peers will be learning off of each other. This will be a no judgment zone and students will comment on how well a student covered a certain area. 

My student's parents will also have access to all of the students blog entries. I will always include the parents. I will also have parents consent to make sure it is okay to have my students create a blog. My students and I will learn off of each other. We will go forward all the time and if anyone is every stuck we will all work from their. For more information check out David Warlick blog. He has very interesting things.
