Why is it important for students to post blogs?



It is important for students to post their work to blogger for many reasons. Blogging is a growing technology that is becoming more and more popular. One reason it is important is the teacher can view the work as well as other students. People around the world have access to the blog. For example, Landslide was posted by a student in PS22's Chorus class. When Stevie Nicks heard the rendition of her song she was blown away. She invited the class to sing the song at Madison Square Garden for the Fleetwood Mac show. If the student had never posted the blog the class would have never experienced that once in a lifetime chance. Another example of the importance of posting is Dear Kaia. If Kaia's dad did not post the story online than students from around the world would not be writing on the importance of experiencing nature.



The importance of posting blogs is also a way to save paper. It cuts down on a lot of paper when the whole class is done on the internet. I think in the future more classes will go to using blogs to turn in assignments.



Another reason blogging is important is that you can add pictures and links to enhance the blog. It gives the viewer a referance as to what you are talking about.



Blogs are a useful tool in learning. Blogs open a wide learning network that can be established through viewing others blogs. Teachers who use blogs do not have to worry about keeping up with paperwork. They just turn on their internet and can pull the blogs right up. I believe the importance of using blogs will become more common in the future.
