I believe the biggest benefit to me, is I will learn how to find my way through the Internet, while understanding some safety issues and be able to find new activities for different curriculum. The different search engines allowed for a different take, and though I felt the Instagrok was interesting, it would not have worked for me. I am a list and see type of person. The different activities I will find will be a benefit to the students by providing them with an interactive way to learning, new strategies for education and fun work. The challenge may be finding the relation to a specific outcome and ensuring the activities are appropriate and used correctly. How will you know the activity you choose is going to challenge the students enough to ensure learning is taking place?

It is amazing how much of teaching relies on the presentation. Great speakers use their resources but do not overload their listeners. It is amazing how much work is put into a presentation both in looks and content. I look forward to learning how to become a strong presenter.
Dear Readers,
Blogging in Education is becoming more common with the advance of technology. After reading a couple of articles on classroom blogging, I am beginning to understand the benefits of Blogging. Blogging is a great way to express creativity and will work as a communication agent where ideas can be exchanged among peers in depth. The freedom a blog contains allows for the creativity to roam as well. This would be a great tool in discussing social study topics such as current events. Ideas can be bounced off each other and developed into serious discussions allowing the development of critical thinking. The online world is easily accessible, allowing for all students to reach the material from home and not lose it. It gives students the flexibility of learning by allowing them the freedom of choice in what, when and where to write. Blogging can also help students prepare for their future, which I found sincerely interesting. Students are learning professional writing skills in a public domain. They also use a higher level of Language reflecting the professional attitude of a blog. Therefore the blog is also a great tool in teaching literacy. Reading these articles has given me some other view points on why Blogging in Education is becoming a part of teaching. I am interested in further researching new ways to integrate Blogging into my teaching major. Thank-you. |
