I have read 5 articles and made some comments on various subjects. One I read earlier. Patrick, a 5th grade student, has been called dumb by his brother. Patrick is hurt by the comments but has decided to write about his feelings. He decides that he is going to proof his brother wrong. There are many different encouraging comments posted on his blog from teachers and people form different walks of life. Patrick thanks each one while acknowledges their comments and how it personally helped him.

The next one is a video on how children are creative until they go to school. Children start out creative but as they continue to live & learn teachers/adults tell them they are doing things wrong or try to fix what is perceive as what is wrong with them. When we haven't recognized what their talent is and how to tap into it. The video is funny while causing you to think. The story about "The Three Wise Men" and "Frank sent me" is a great example of creativity. It is long but keeps your interest.

The next one is on how technology is used for spying and how it is our job to teach ethics & technology use, simultaneously. Also, while teaching or interacting with students and others remember our behavior toward students can cause others to record &/or edit the videos before publishing it on youtube.

The next is explaining the uses of blogs in the classroom. It is a way to give students voice in their writing. Also, they get to read their classmates writing. The students learn responsible writing and its importance. Lastly, students and teachers learn how to effectively access information and how to utilize the changing technology.

The last is on whether to give homework. It is a subject that all teachers contemplate. The students that don't need it do and the ones who do, do not. Then, you consider you should control/monitor the independent practice in your classroom. In order to do do this, be efficient with your teaching time by being prepared and structured to allow students time to work in class. The comments were varied as expected. Each expressing their frustration.

Blogging is an interesting way of expressing your ideas on subjects and adjusting your views as you learn and grow on the subject. It is a record of your progress.
It appears to be an informal means of communication that has the ability to inform & give the writer a voice.
