Blogs Week 2

I think that blogs have helped speed up the flow of information tremendously in the past few years. For education purposes, when used properly, blogs can be a great resource for the students at home. While in the classroom, however, I feel that time would better spent on teaching the material rather than creating blogs. In my opinion, blogs are simply a good way to reinforce instruction given in the classroom.

I think that the knowledge forums and wiki projects shown in chapter 6 are a great way for students to demonstrate what they have learned and take an active role in their class. It is a fun way for students to review what they have learned but it also requires that they put more thought and effort into it than a review sheet.
