Blogging
I think that blogging can be a useful tool when it is used in the proper way like in this class. Once you start using blogs to bash other people then it can become a not so useful tool. Blogs can be useful in education because some students are more apt to voice their opinion on paper rather than verbally in front of the entire class. Using blogs is not a waste of students time because it keeps everyone involve and gets them familiar with technology that they will more than likely have to use whenever they begin working in their career.

It is true that some students will benefit from the blog, specially if they are shy. I agree with the use of the blog is not a waste of time, if the students are going to be in front of the computer, why not using the blog to keep up with a class or homework assingments.

ReplyDeleteSo true is your opening statement that blogging can be a useful tool when "it is used in the proper way". I believe this holds true in our education system even more so than in other arenas. When individuals use blogging as a means of bashing others it falls right along with articles found in trash magazines, talk about a waste of time!
