Journal #4: Blogging

Blogging is to write entries in, add material to, or maintain a weblog. On the classroom 2.0 the part of I was into was the following why do blogs freak people out? The person wanted to know what other people thought of blogging. Reading what other people had to say and did find that to be an interesting question to ask. What I learning from reading what the others had to say is that they find it a great way to communicate between the teachers and students. The teachers who teach in the University level have it part of there class. The teacher does list her subject with her comment and you can see what she has done in the subjects that she teaches. It just not blogging, they also use Wikis. Even though the teacher who teaches in the University she does not use Wiki, because does not know how it fits in what she is teaching.Most of the people did like blogging in a classroom setting especially at the university levels were the restriction of the Internet are not big, like it is in the lower level grade. The teacher of the lower grades still does use the blogging system, however it only would apply to what they are learning at that time. I learned that no matter what grade or subject the teachers do like to use the blogs in their classrooms. I personally do not like to blog, because I just fill uncomfortable writing in blogs.

When our teacher told us that we were going to be making our own blog, I was a little nervous. But after creating the blog, I can see how it would be an outlet for some but overwhelming for others. I think that teachers within schools or school ditricts should have class blogs so they are able to share with others and gain resources.

I think that blogs are fun to write, but can also be informative, so I can see how it would be a good tool to use in the classroom. Students can benefit from having to display their work because they will be more conscientious of how they write.
