Thing #3

So I was thinking to myself, "Why isn't my stuff posting to D2L"? This is when I realized I had forgot about Thing #3. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you"-Friedrich Nietzsche. I think you have to be careful with these kinds of things, but blogs can be very useful! A teacher could use them for reading assignments to get an idea of what the students think about a book or to track what they are learning. (Believe it or not) Some students enjoying writing about their experiences, so blogging could make a good bellringer to get students in the mood to learn. At home students could have classroom discussion boards, homework assignments (we know how forgetful students can be about homework.lol), and post class related stuff. It is important to give students a chance to be able to control what goes in the classroom and what they learn about...because afterall it is their classroom too. Blogging would give teachers a chance to assist students outside the classroom, store reflections, and make notes about things that work and do not work in class. It is also a good way for teachers and students to get connected to teachers and students outside of their classroom, state, ot country. Overall, decent stuff I pose.
