k12 Blogs/week5

Blogs are able to be used by almost all ages to express thoughts, feelings, and even ideas. Teachers also use these for various reasons. They can help students express themselves or provide another way of communicating for teachers.
On education.com I found an article on a Mr. John Pearson. He is a third grade teacher from Dallas, Texas who uses blogs. He explains in his blogs about teaching and how it has effected him in his every day life. He mentions reactions children have to things and what to expect in the classroom. This is one way to use blogs.
Another blog I came across is from a teacher/ student in California asking for help with her class. This blog site on teacherlingo.com is a place where many teachers come and inquire for help. This particular teacher needs a survey answered. Blogs are where people can reach out for help and give help in return.
These are only a couple of ways to use blogs. It can be used in anyway that requires communication and assignments can even be given on blogs. Blogs are used throughout the world everyday for many different things!
