Blog Assignment

   I think using blogs are a fun and creative way to communicate, show news reports, tell stories, and poems and just meet new people. Blogs being used in education there are tons of ways they can be used a few for example blogs can make class meetings more on the classroom settings you can set up a blog account and have the class go in on class days and do there assigned work just as we do in this class. Less meetings for class saves gas money for the people who do commute to school or the people who are sick do have to physically show up just virtually.

     For people who think using blogs is a waste of time I think its become a must in education because of the technology we are heading into we might not have mandatory classroom meetings in the future so learning blogs now will help you teach others to use them.
     Chapter six teaches you the many way we use technology we used in the classroom. In the book the students knew how to create a blog, use them and has become very important in the classroom.
