Thinking about Blogs

We went over how Blogs can be used in the classroom in class this week and it got me thinking. Blogs are very versatile. they can be fun, informative, creative. They can be used to express an opinion, tell a story, share photos, and present information. its funny to really think of the possibilities that arise from its creation.
This Blog is a journey of learning, and an expression of ideas. This can be used in classrooms to; however they are public which isn't very safe for student information. My grade 4 prac class last year had a Blog. The teachers uploaded photos of the class's activities and events they participated in. I thought it was a great resource. the students loved hearing when the site was updated, and would go home to show their parents. It was also great that even after I left I could still check out how their class project was going. This in a way proved the danger of having the Blog, because anyone could access it and see the class and what they had been doing.

I made a SWOT diagram to properly express my ideas

(used SmartART in Microsoft Word to make this)
