Blogging in Education

Discussing the advantages of blogging in education...Ch. 1.

Blogging can be a very useful tool. I have personally set up a blog through my school web page. Negative side is that a lot of m y students don't have internet access at home. Now if there was a way to blog through texting, then no child would be left behind!

I agree with the article when it points out that have got to be aware of the inappropriate material available on the web and through blogs, etc. We have to teach students what is right and wrong. By teaching them, we are showing them that they can be caught and get into serious trouble by putting that material on the web. This is not like a note you pass in class, the web is for all to see!

We also have to protect the privacy of the students. I like that states are making laws that protect and limit the amount of personal material that parents allow to be published. With 2 small children that will be growing up in this age, its reassuring that the laws will only get tougher!
