C4Tp #1

The first thing mentioned in this blog is that Ms. Tolisano is amazed that more Language Arts teachers are not into blogging. I am concentrating in English and creating a blog never occurred to me until this class. I always thought that blogging was just about writing down your thoughts, but Silvia points out that blogging is presenting your thoughts for feedback. I never thought of it this way. Many students have trouble paying attention in math classes so I think that using the blog and technology will make it more enjoyable for students.

In Ms. Tolisano's second post from June 3rd, she states that blogging should be used as a pedagogy instead of just an added on project for teaching. She says that blogging can support the students' reading, writing, reflecting, and sharing skills. She then breaks down each of these sections and describes how each can benefit the students. The part that I like most from this part of her blog is when she states "reading turns into a collaborative and connected experience." I think that is part is so important to the students' futures. In the real world, students are going to be forced to interact with others and work as a team. Starting students off by doing this in blog form is a great way to prepare them for the future.
