This has been my very first experience with blogging, and I was surprised that it was as easy as it is. When I was in high school, the curriculum never called for much technology other than keyboarding skills. However, I have noticed from younger students that a lot of things are changing. I think that computer skills and blogging could be an efficient tool in learning.
I am studying to become a high school English teacher, and I think I would enjoy incorporating blogging into my lesson plans. I am taking a literature class now that is requiring us to comment of stories and poems that we are reading in class. I think that I could use the same principles. English is much more than grammar, and responding to literature as well as writing could be a central theme to blog use.
Of course, the students would have to be monitored during blogging to ensure their safety. Unfortunately, online predators are getting very clever, and the students protection would have to be utmost. The Internet is not a completely dangerous place though, and I think that it could be used for good.
