In schools today students are also required to use computers, internet and technology. More and more schools are making it required for students to have access to a computer to turn in homework or to do projects, essays and things like that. The older you get the more technology you are required to use in schools.
By using technology, this gives teachers a more wide variety of activities and projects they can use to interact with their students. Blogs are one of these resources that teachers can use. By making a blog you can develop one place to hold different things that can be useful to your students.
For me, I want to become a French teacher, and I could use a blog for a place to hold different links for students to be able to access that may help them with their French. It can be a place where I can update class news or news in general. I can also post videos that can help students learn or French movies, TV shows, or music. Videos are a good form of interaction especially for foreign languages because hearing the language being spoke is necessary for the student to learn.Blogs can be very interactive if used in the right way and most teachers want this interaction with their students. It assures them that their students are learning and actually care about learning their subject. Blogs help the students to interact because they have to watch the videos, read the posts and comment. Plus, blogs are a lot more interesting and personal than a school website. This will encourage the students to actually go onto the blog, check it out, and interact.
Overall, I think that blogs are a good way for teachers to introduce their students to the internet and to help them become more involved in class and to ultimately learn more and have a fun time doing it. Remember, if students are having fun learning your subject then they're apt to learn more. ^-^
