I am officially considered a Blogger. I love the fact that I can write about anything that I feel important and post it for all to see. I have a Facebook account and in the past have used it often, however this is my first on Blogger and I find it similar to that of facebook. The only difference that I see so far is that you cannot tell when someone else is online....or can you? That is something I dislike about Facebook. Let me explain.....I get onto my facebook account and the moment that I log-in, my mother writes me, if I choose that I am not in the mood to write back, she continues to bug me. I sure hope she doesn't find out about Blogger. I would never be able to complete my work. :) Please don't get me wrong, I love my mother to death, but she thinks I am just searching the web everytime I am online and not being productive. I will now have prof that I use the internet to work instead of chat with friends via the internet.
Now to answer the question of ways that you might use a blog in your teacher education program or your future classroom? I would use it as a tool to stimulate discussion. I would allow children opportunities to share findings about subject matter discussed with the rest of the class. This could be attached to their blog page for all to see. I might also place homework material on a classroom Blog page for all students to have access to. I see that the future holds technology to a new standard and it is forever growing. New things are consistantly being created and published for the general public to access. There is such a growing demand for online activities, thus, I feel blog will most likely become a wonderful teaching tool for my future classroom.
