Blogging for students

This blogging was a little difficult for me at first.......The first time that I tried saving it didnt save and I had to start all over. Oh well, the point of doing this is learning.

With a little guidance from the teacher a student can learn to blog and teach others to blog as well. It can also be a little challenging for them too but one they get the hang of it, it can be a little addicting and I can see why. Students can blog about every subject no matter what they are learning. Older students who are a little more familiar with computers may appreciate blogging more but it is never too early to learn how to blog.

A website that helps you blog and teaches you the varieties of blogging is http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/. Many students who have a Facebook and or a Myspace are already blogging as I learned in my first Technology Applications class. Little did I know that this was a form of blogging already. So many students will learn to appreciate blogging the more they are introduced to it and it is the teacher's responsibility to introduce them to it.

  1. I agree with you about how blogging can be addicting. I remember when I first opened my Myspace account I would stay up all night visiting other pages.

  2. You are correct, it is never too early to learn how to blog. In fact, I think the younger the better because little kids are sponges and take in everything quickly. My 4-year old nephew knows more about the computer than my parents. Lol.
