For this weeks blog post, we were asked to watch the videos by Kathy Cassidy. These videos are a fantastic way to show teachers how technology can look within their classrooms. Teachers are often concerned that using technology will isolate students. Her videos illustrate how technology can be used to encourage the social development of our students. I like her use of blogger in the classroom, just like ours in edm310. Blogging is a great way to get students to work for not just a classroom audience, but a world audience! I will definitely use Blogger in the classroom. The parents may not like their children being online so young, but I will handle it the way Mrs. cassidy did, with parent permission forms. I think the students will love to use technology in the classroom. I believe it will improve they way they write and communicate with others. Starting it so early in the classroom will also prepare them for upper grade levels such as high school.
