Greetings and Salutations,
The internet is increasingly becoming a persistent influence in the life of education in today's society. Being an undergraduate at NCA&T I have noticed that technology is not only a part of the younger generation in education, but in the education of the older generation as well. It has been exhibited in my eyes, that in my future endeavors of becoming an elementary teacher, the internet will aid in engaging and retaining the attention of my students. I have recently gained the knowledge of how blogs are extremely helpful in all apects of life. Being a teacher and requiring your students to create and utilize their blogs often will allow the students to learn beyond the schoolyard. Blogs build relationships among people everywhere. It allows the student and teacher to relieve any type of stress from struggles and obstacles, while finding others who have overcame the same barriers that have been placed in front of you. Teachers can also find effective methods or strategies that have been proven to useful in the classroom from instructors all over the world. The bond between a teacher and a student, a teacher and a collegues. a teacher and a parent, or even students and peers can strenghten enormously through the usage of blogs. Here a teacher can find out what is bothering a student in order to help and communicate with a parent, who may not have time for a face to face conference. Blogs are also the place to receive feedback from people across the nation on any subject available. I feel that the utilization of a blog is a motivational element for both teachers and students in a classroom. Blogs are an exhuburant creation and will be around for a number of years to come.

P.S. If there are any educators out there who use blogs as a method of learning in the classroom please respond with your acheivements. I would love to learn from you.
Thank you so much!
I agree with what you are syaing here when it comes to how technology has influenced our scoiety. I also agree especially with what you said about realtionships. I believe that blogs can be another way for teachers and students and like you said parents and teachers as well to bond in relationships, I think this can also be another way for parents who can not be physically present to become invovled in the shcool as well.
ReplyDeleteHi. I agree with you about the use of technology and how important it is at A&T. It plays a huge role on pretty much everyone's everyday life.
