Technology can be and is used in almost every one's lives these days. Encorporating technology in the educational classroom can be a smooth and easy transition if it is done the right way. In an article found on David Warlick's website, says we are working in a world that is driven by technological advance and improvement". I believe this is true and that teachers should teach students the proper way to use the internet and teach them the many free resources on the web other than popular websites such as myspace and facebook. One way that teachers can incorporate technology into their classroom is by having students set up a blog account. This will help students express their ideas and comments for other students to view.
I want to teach junior high science when I enter the teaching field. I can see myself using a blog in the classroom so that students can voice their opinions about questions or comments about what is happening inside the classroom. For example, if a student doesn't understand something that we covered in class, they could blog about the subject and include what they could understand and what they did not understand. Other students or myself could then go in and follow their blog and leave comments trying to help explain the subject better or in a different way. Another way students could benefit by using blogs would be if they would like me to expand on a certain subject that they are interested in. People could then comment on whether or not they agree to expand the information or not. I could use this as a guide to what the students want to know on a particular subject.

I like the idea that sudents can help each other with class through blogging. This would probably open up many ideas for the students to incorporate blogging in other aspects of their school work.
