Thing #3
In the future I might use a blog for my classroom to get their opinions on questions i could post. Most children are afraid like most adults to raise their hands and ask questions. So a blog might be one thing that could help get them out of their shell to propose their ideas about learning and stuff we go over in class. Another way that might be helpful with a blog in future education program would be to post stuff as a teacher of how they conduct the class, keep them involved in learning, and lesson plans. Students that are majoring in education might read their blogs, in which may help them to understand and use some of the same techniques that they use.

I agree this blog could be a great place for people who are scared to ask questions and come forward to help advance their learning. I feel this is a great learning lesson for all it could help make teaching and learning fun. Great post good information about blogs.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of that Brandi. Using a blog for timid students is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI did not think about the future teachers using the blog system. It would be a good item for them to use through college also. Blog about their college experience and allow current teachers to comment on them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brandi on her ways of using a blog in the classroom. When I was younger, I was always alittle afraid to raise my hand in class and ask a question. A lot of students have the fear that their peers will laugh at them or think that they are ignorant for asking a "dumb" question. Having an in classroom blog where students can discuss the class assignments and comment on their effectiveness, I really think, would prove beneficial in the classroom.
ReplyDeleteI mentioned something like you did about timid students asking questions. However, I suggested that the students have a screen name that only I know so that they could converse without knowing who the others are. That illuminates embarrassment and makes even the blogging environment more comfortable for students.
