Week 2 Assignment

The only blogging experience that I currently have is the occasional posting on MySpace. I believe that and I now see that this is a resource that I have under utilized. Blogging most definitely can be used as a tool of exploration within the classroom. Students may be only slightly aware that they are learning in a fun, informal way with technology included in the curriculum, giving students access to all forms of quality information that can be found on the Internet.
In the hands of the right teacher technology can be a valuable tool to increase a students creative potential. Those that think that integrating the use of technology in the classroom is a waste of a students time. I say unto you that any resource that can be used to make a child wish to learn and have fun doing so, is a resource that should be fully taken advantage of.

In Chapter 6 we see how it discusses how different ideas in the use of technology can be used towards success in the classroom. Plans that use blogs created by the students and teachers are some of the best forms of teaching methods that are being used. Technology that is used to aid in the promotion of critical and analytical thinking has potential applications within the classroom.
