Blogging is a very new experience for me. The only other blogging experience I have had was in my Philosophy 1000 class and I did not enjoy it. Because of this experience, I was not very excited about the idea of creating a blog for this class. I have since changed my opinion. I have enjoyed creating a blog and personalizing it. I think it is a great way to use technology in the classroom. Instead of emailing assignments or adding them to blackboard, we can use our blog! It adds an element of fun.
The youth today, seems to view technology different than I do. They seem to use technology has a lifeline rather than an addition or resource. I could see where blogging could be an affective tool for learning with today's youth, as they are so dependent on technology. However, I am still a little skeptical about technology and I would be afraid to use a learning technique in my classroom that I still know very little about.
