My Intentions of Utilizing Blogs in the Classroom

Blogging is an awesome technology that can be used for learning. I would utilize blogs in the classroom since they allow the boundaries of the learning environment to be extended outside of the physical classroom setting. In the classroom contact time is limited, however, blogs provide adequate time for students to formulate and express their thoughts in their own convenient setting. As a result, students can take time to constructively critique the view points expressed by other students on these blogs. Hence, they will become highly motivated about their learning from the use of this technology. Assignments, handouts and notices can be uploaded, decreasing the misuse of stationery. As an educator, the quality of my instructions will be greatly enhanced as students misconceptions or concerns can be addressed immediately.
