Using Blog in my Classroom:
I consider blogging to be a veritable tool that can really engage students in reflective and creative writing. Students love it when they can lay claim to any product as their handiwork. I can see the smile on my students’ faces when they make presentation in the class to their classmates and receive a zeal of approval and applause at the end of their presentations, they love the accolade, now I just begin to wonder how much more they will love it when they know that, millions around the globe can see, view, and even comment on their work on line! Students will put in their best when they know that they have real live audience, not only their peers around the world, but even experts, authors and publishers are reading their messages and contribution the body of knowledge, they will want to put their best “foot” forward. Marshal Mcluhan talked about global village, students will view the interaction with the global village as a real challenge and opportunity to be at their best, and show the world what they can do.
