Blogging Importance

There are many reasons as to why a teacher should allow students to post their work and achievements to the web. The students can recieve feedback from a variety of sources to build up their self esteem and know that their work is worthwhile. Here is a link to a great site that provided one little girl the opportunity to show her creativity to the world. It further allowed her to communicate with individuals that she may have never spoken to in her life time.

Furthermore, if you look at this video you can see at what a amazing job this chorus did in singing the cover song.



Here is a great website where the little children of this classroom read a story, and publish drawings of their artwork for the world to see. The little boy that I was assigned to was Jonson. I have also submitted his artwork to show what a wonderful job he did. There is also a link to listen to him tell the story of Hansel and Gretel.

The most important thing to remember is that we as teachers would connect students that would not normally be connected. Furthermore we would offer more positive feedback to the children, encouraging them, knowing if they work hard, present well, and educate others, that the praise they get as feedback is very rewarding to them. Another aspect that I just realized is that the more you do post and attachments and pictures the easier it becomes. If a child can aster these skills at an earlier age then he/she will be a step ahead of others when the world has become technology dependent.
