As I skim through and viewed david warlick webpage I found many interesting perspectives and information On 2Cents Worth.
A Techno Teacher's Second Life. ....
As I always have the habit of wondering what if, and if not, what can we do with it. Well, ask I keep on searching through out websites, examples, observing how others use the blogs. And it dawned on me, hello! This would be great for students to use this writing, science, social studies, and so much more. Students can interact by using blogs in engaging with one another in what they have been learning in their classrooms and sharing their ideas that they have been working on in the classroom.
Basically students become our critics, they can inform us what they understand, what they dont understand, what they like, and so forth. They importance that blogging has been emphasized is, students can hold discussions, participate, reflect, motivate, share ideas, take ownership of their own blog.
Blogging "gives students a voice, a audience, a learning environment, a skill that is useful for digital futures". Science Fair projects would be such a great thing for kids to post up on their blogs and get help with one another, book reviews can also be done by the students once they have completed reading a book. Many options are available its just introducing, becoming confident, and using it to its fullest potential.
I agree with that blogging totally gives the student a voice. I think that it would beneficial to the student and teacher to have blogs to interact with each other and classmates. Good blog Veronica!
