Blogs are distinctive because people
are writing about thoughts and ideas they have on their heart and basically
“thinking out loud.” Educators can use
blogs to hear honest explanations of other expert’s thoughts, comment on them,
and to share their own inspirations. The give and take of blogging can be a
unique place to learn, reflect and share, not just for educators, but students,
too.
After visiting some of the
educational blogs, I think blogging is a great tool for students. Instead of
writing solely for school related assignments, students can learn to write well
enough to publish their own blogs and this could continue after they finish their formal education. As the “head-learner” of your school,
modeling blogging could trickle down and impact the staff and students.
Cool blog! Catchy title. I really like it and its contents. My rationale for supporting your idea that blogs can be used to increase creativity, inspire others and potentially help students express themselves by publishing their own blogs.
