My opinion on blogs

I think that blogs are a very good way to connect with today's youth in an educational atmostphere. Youth always feel that teachers and parents do not fully understand them, but by using the technologies that they are most familiar with teachers show students that they can relate to the students in a sense and allows the students to express themselves in a way they feel more comfortable. I think that bloggs will be more helpful in allowing students to communicate with the teacher because not all students are comfortable addressing the teacher face to face. A blogg gives a student more freedom to voice his or her opinion without being ostracized by the teacher verbally because the student could possibly post anonymously. I think that too often teachers condemn the new technologies students lose and underestimate the usefulness of these tools, but I think that the best way to get the students attention is by giving them a challenge in the environment they are most comfortable. If students are comfortable on computers using bloggs then teacher should incoporate bloggs into the curriculum because students will be interested in the education and will learn more.
