Blogs are the new age in and out of the classroom. I think that today it is very important the kids start to get familiar with blogs because in the later years they are going to become more traditional in and out of the classroom. As I have started learning in EDU 422 blogging is a great way of communication with other classmates. If gives you the ability to say and express how you feel without having the face to face contact that at times maybe a little scary at times. You are allowed to express how you are feeling about something to your full potential. With that said when writing or replying to a blog there needs to be standards that need to be follow so that things do not get out of hand. Things can get out of hand because your are free to express yourself and blogs allow you to do that. So before you allow your students to jump right in your need to set the standards and let them know what will and will not be acceptable to post. Examples need to be shown so students know what is expected of them. With all this said, done and being followed, blogging with become a more house used technology.
