Hi Class,
After reading the article, “Point
CounterPoint: Is Blogging Worth the Risk?”, I believe that blogging is worth the risk.
Communication is everything these days, especially on the Internet
through social networking sites. I
think that blogging should be used to express opinions as long as they are
constructive. I also strongly believe
that blogging should be used in the classroom. Kids are going to be putting their thoughts out there in the
social networking world all over the Internet whether we like it or not, so why
not incorporate it into education? As mentioned in the article, by using blogs
to express themselves in an educational setting, students will learn positive practices
for communication. With an implied
responsibility connected to their online communication, students will develop
good habits. Kids are going to express themselves no matter what. Therefore, why not help them do it in a
positive way?
Check out this website I found with tips for blogging with your students:
Thanks for reading!

Hi Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteYou are right! Kids nowadays are going to be so literate in technology that blogging is the next thing to creative communication. It is very important for kids to express themselves and blogging seems like a good venue for communicating. I also like your added touch with the picture and the website for tips on blogging.
Nice job!

Hey Kimberly,
ReplyDeleteI like how you mentioned that no matter what we do, kids will be on the internet sharing their thoughts and opinions so better that we can monitor it. I feel like most students have access to some form of internet these days and it is better for us to guide them on what should/should not be said. Great points!
