Technology is a significant part of today’s society. As it continues to evolve, people have to grow and learn to adapt. These days it is normal for people to interact with technology on a daily basis. Computers for example, are relatively easy for anyone to access. As a result, the way people learn and teach is changing. Blogs are one way to make the teaching and learning experience interesting.
I think under the right context Blogs can be an effective tool for teachers. Blogs can be used to share and document updated information to students for reference. It is also a great way for teachers to share lessons or ideas with their colleagues. When a teacher uses a Blog to discuss current concepts being taught in the classrooms, parents or guardians are able to read and see what their child is learning in school. In this case, I think Blogs are a great way to encourage parents or guardians to be involved in their child’s learning experience.
For students, Blogs can be used as a portfolio or online journal. Digital portfolios may be an interesting way for students to display their skills and knowledge of a certain subject. A Blog may also be a way to motivate students to creatively express themselves. Depending on the subject and students’ age, Blogs can be an interesting and engaging way to help students learn concepts and demonstrate to the teacher that they actually understand.
