I actually do not like using blogs. I just dont like doing them, i will read some of my friends blogs but not all the time. I think they are a waste of time for me to sit around reading someones thoughts on the internet when i can hear it straight from them. The only way i think blogs would be useful in education is if you were learning over the internet and not having the luxury of having a teacher in front of you. Then it would be useful because it would be liek you are being taught just over the internet. I also think it is a waste of students time for using blogs in the classroom. The teacher is getting paid to teach and not to post stuff on the internet so the students can read it. Teachers should be teaching the students while they are in the classroom and not over the internet.
I actually do not like using the internet in classrooms, actually i hate it. They come to class for a reason and that is to learn and do everything in person. So using some of these ideas from chapter 6 does not interest me. I wish we didnt even have the internet, hahaa well sometimes at least.

I agree with you that using the Internet in the classroom is hard because it might not be avilable to every student at thier home. If it is work that can be done during their class time, in a computer lab, then I think the Internet as a lot to offer students. But I also think that tradional classroom time is still the best way to go.
Hi Corley,
After reading your posting, I was surprised that you didn't like blogging. If we hadn't had blogs, we should have come to class on Fridays instead.
Thanks for posting!

I agree with everything that you said.It would not be fair to assign an assignment that involves using the internet when not every student has a computer at home.
