Thing #3

Using a Blog can be beneficial to an educator in numerous ways. It can be a social outlet that allows an educator to reflect on his or her teaching experiences in a public journal that allows other education professionals to comment, share, or discover new information at the click of a button.  An educator can teach his or her students how to blog and use it as a journal for classes, as a positive outlet to express the way they feel. They could be known as the "Internet Freedom Writers"!  The most important benefit of a blog to an educator would be letting his or her students discuss activities done in class and what they thought about them.  These postings would allow the teacher to see the good, the bad, and the ugly of how that activity was received and allow him or her to make adjustments as necessary to improve his or her teaching styles.
