I will definitely incorporate weblogs into my classroom. There are ways that you can make blogging safe for all children. I think by not introducing them to this emerging technology only holds them back, and in the long run is not beneficial to them. I think that blogging is a great educational tool.

Teaching students how to respond to other students blogs, creating their own posts, or even their own blogs is an exciting experience. This is a different way that teachers can incorporate technology effectively in the classroom and encourage critical thinking. Integrating blogging in education is fun and interesting.

I don't think it is suitable for students in K-12. I don't know much about security but it seems to me that anyone can see blogs and this is not safe for our children. I am a pre service teacher but I don't know if I will use blogging. I can see using discussion boards that you have to subscribe to. This way not just anyone can look at the comments. I can also see using chat. Now the problem is not all children have access to the internet. Bloggin, discussion boards, and chat can all cause a digital divide between the students who have internet and those who do not. This is a current problem and as far as I can see, it does not have an answer. I also support blogging for higher education. I don’t think it is suitable for students in K-12.

I really like it and love that I can use it when I teach. Now I know about wiki's too and I can use that for my teaching and choreography as well. It is truly great and class is exciting learning all these new technologies! I also am taking EDU 375 and blogging is so much fun. I really like it and love that I can use it when I teach.

I never knew all this was out here. So much information in which I can go out and find, read and then talk about. I have fallen for blogging!

I wonder how this would affect education podcasts like mine. My feed is based off of a blog.
