Feelings about the Integration of Blogging and Classrooms

To be completely honest I was skeptical at first about using blogs in the classroom. However, after doing the readings and starting one for this class my opinion has changed. I think that blogging in the classroom will be really helpful and kind of fun for a lot of reasons. It will be an easy way to communicate homework and assignments and to get some discussions going, and it will be an excellent resource for the students. Even though this generation may be a bit too focused at times on technology, there is no denying that it is a huge part of society today so the students will be able to relate to it. I am hoping to teach secondary education, so I think having blogs in a high school classroom will be a fun experience and allow not only me to be creative, but the students as well. :)
