Why let our Students blog? (video #12)

I agreed with this video very much. Before this class I had never blogged. I didn't see any point in doing it really, but now that I have done it the whole semester I really enjoy it. I enjoy putting my thoughts and feelings down so other people can read them, or even blogging about my life that way people can stay up to date on what my family and I are doing. I thought that this video gave so many GREAT reasons on why we should let our students blog. I think that blogging can really teach the children a lot of useful things that they will use the rest of their lives and especially throughout the rest of their education. Some of the reasons I liked the best were collaboration, communication, for their technology futures, literacy, and sharing. I felt that those are some really good skills that every child is going to need. I really enjoyed all of these reasons that this video presented, but those are some of my favorite ones. I am glad that this class made us blog about a video, and a reflection of what we were learning in class that week! I think that my favorite is writing a reflection, because I love being able to express my thoughts and feelings to people! So Thank You Doc! :)
