A blow can be created by anyone and have multiple followers. It allows the created to reflect his/her opinions and ideas on a particular subject. The followers can comment as much as they like on the blogs however the created has full control over what actually can stay published on their blog.
This would be a great tool to use in the classroom context a it would allow teachers,students and parents to communicate effectively and safely between each other.
How great is blogging as the weeks have gone on I realise that it is a great learning tool to use. It allows you to work at your own pace, collaborate with your peers and see different perspectives that everyone has had on certain ICT tools. Though using blogs in the classroom context teachers need to ensure to teach students to make constructive comments and questions with ettiquette safety and showing that having different views is okay. As all these points will have be discussed and taught/modelled to the students before implementing this ICT into the classroom. How have you like the experience of using a blog?
ReplyDeleteBlogs....... all i can say is 'WOW' !! Using blog has allowed me to collaborate new understandings about the ICT world we live in. By producing this blog it has prompted me to discover a whole new world. Blogs have allowed me to view other people's perspectives on topics which have scaffolded my learning to new understandings on these topics.
