Classrooms of the Future- Blogs Included

In attempts to helps students learn to express themselves through the use of written thoughts and uploaded images, blogs have been created. We as teachers are at the frontline for teaching our students how to use such blogs, in attempts to create an enduring lifelong experience. Students can use blogs not just outside of school, but within the classroom as well. They are able to respond to other blog posts, which allows for outside input to be added for perhaps a written paper, project ideas, or websites they found in order to help solve math problems.

Teachers have a variety of labels they are called and one such label is "helper". Blogs allow educators to "help" other educators to think of creative ideas in which they had successful use of in their classrooms. Another label is "informer", in which the teacher informs others of websites with clever activities, also to "inform" others of crafts, activites, and technology that was unsuccessful in their classroom, in order for others to avoid. David Warlick's blog discusses some new advances in technology in which educators would be greatful to gain further knowledge on. These types of blogs allow for creative ideas to move throughout the world.
