Write to learn…Blog to learn
I recently came across this video on teacher tube. It outlines many key benefits blogging presents for students. It has really opened my eyes towards the benefits of incorporating blogging into the classroom. Not only for the student but for the teacher as well…it provides better communication and provides an opportunity for formative informal assessment. The short film noted many relevent reasons for blogging such as….for:
* communication * sharing
* lieracy * collaboration
* ownership * discussion
* empowerment * interaction
* motivation * participation
* engagment * excitement
* conversation * creativity
* refelction
AND MOST SIGNIFICANTLY
* expanding the walls of the classroom
* giving students a voice and an ‘audience’
* to give students an open learning environment
* to give them skills useful for their digital future
This video rasied key ideas on incorporating technology into the classroom. It opens up indivdual learning and proves a consistent reinforcer to students in developing their computer literacies. Watch the video…you’ll enjoy it!
