My prior experiences in the blogging realm made me unfazed in creating this online space. I found the process of creating and updating the blog relatively simple and definitely possible for the primary school students I will soon (hopefully!) be teaching.
There are umpteen possibilities for students to use blogs in the classroom to share their learning. Blogs are fantastic because with the help of a number of ICTs classrooms can upload videos, digital photos, work sample scans as well as written posts to the blog. Students want their work to feel valued, and by sharing it online we as educators can validate student efforts and excite and encourage them to contribute to the digital world.
It is no surprise that information is no longer presented in what some may view as “traditional” manners. Being well versed in digital and indeed technological life will assist in teaching my students how they can best participate (as both a creator and reader) in a world where this is increasingly important.
