My intake on Blogs...

I think blogs are an informal way of expressing your ideas and self to the web. I think blogs can be useful for education in a way that it help the student get more aware of their resources on the internet and it can be a tool for the teacher to use for assignments and also helps to get to know the students a little better. Helps stay in tune with the students personality, character, and what the student likes and dislikes are. Some people think that blogs in class rooms are a waste of the students time. I think that depending on how the teacher utilizes the blog use in her class room and demonstrates the appropriateness of them then it can be very useful for education and students in the class room.

In chapter 6 it shows how different technology ideas are used to implement success in the class room. Student created blogs, expert-created blogs, and teacher-created blogs are som of the best forms of teaching methods used to support curriculums and student learners. I would use them, being a Math teacher, by integrating the sudy of math and different math problems for students to attempt online then blog to me about the problems they ran into and how they feel about them.
