My+Classroom+Blog

Before you visit my blog, you may find yourself wondering, "What in the world is a blog?". A blog is a personal online site that allows the creater to write, edit, and publish their thoughts, giving the world acess to read what they have posted. Many blogs typically include text, images, videos, as well as links to other websites or blogs. Blogs can serve as a great resource for both students and teachers as they will be able to use them for research and remain up to date about the news or society. There are also many different outlets that blogs can serve as, for instance, some blogs can serve as an online diary where other blogs can follow the news or can facilitate as a classroom resource like mine! I feel that blogs could serve as a great outlet for students because if every student had their own blog, at the end of the day they could each take ten minutes to write about their day and write a personal message to the teacher that would be private between them. I feel it would be important to keep all of the student's blogs private to encourage trust and honesty between the teacher and the student. Therefore the students would know that whatever they write would be confidential unless they chose to share what they have written with the class. The blog would also be great for students to complete their homework on and subit it online to their teacher rather than completing a worksheet at home. I encourage everyone to take a moment to visit my blog and leave a comment.
