Hello. On this blog which I recently began, I have bee describing new and exciting technologies, many of which we will be using to complete class activities. My favorite technology tool discussed on this blog is.....(you guessed it) blogs.
The reason I like blogs is because blogs offer opportunities to collaborate with and write to a variety of audiences, to reflect on one’s writing and to be engaged in each stage of the writing cycle (including revising, editing and publishing). As a future high school and college student and adult, you will have to work with others on important projects and be able to write clearly to different people for different reasons. Blogs offer opportunities to improve these skills.
Blogs also allow a student to be actively engaged in the learning process. Everyone has to contribute and offer input for a blog to be successful. A teacher may begin a blog’s prompt; however, students then respond, not only to the teacher, but also to one another. Blogs can also be a great way for students to save and add to a group project.
I am hoping to post engaging and higher level thinking questions on this blog. You will be expected to contribute responses to these questions. This blog will also be used for groups to share ideas and resources during group projects. Are you ready? Let’s bog!
