How will blogging improve my classroom?

Blogging is quite a new form of media for me.  I believe it will improve the student's knowledge of how information can be transmitted.  Blogs can help in getting information from other teachers, especially from those who have been teaching for a while and would havethe necessary information.  It would help you to be better more more equipped.

The Importance of Lesson Plans

It is very important for teachers to prepare their lesson plan (each lesson plan).  As a saying goes, "If you fail to plan, you are really planning to fail."

Lesson plans are important and essential in planning because you need to know what your are teaching the students.  You are able to meet each student's needs in terms of their different learning styles.  We also have students, with different backgrounds, differnt economic situations and different personalities.  With all this in mind, a teacher should not teach her lesson only geared towards a specific goal in mind.  She should have specific objectives in order for each student to learn effectively.

Even though a teacher may be teaching the same topic for years, it is wise to note that all classes and children are not the same.  What could work yesterday, last week or even last year is not necessarily able to work this year.  The teacher may even be able to aquire new information on the specific topic.
With lesson plans, one could see where they are going and where they actually reached. You could also see if the goal was met and where changes could be made.  We are able to view or performance to know if we need to chance our teaching skills.

How will I use my Blog?

When I have familiarized myself with blogging, and will use my blog for educational purposes.  I intend to give information and get information for the various subject areas.

I can also get information pertaining to assignments and discussions had in class.

What do I think about Blogging in the classroom

It is not as easy as it sounds.  In my view, at the primary school level, I do not think children are knowleageble enough to be using blogs, and even if they are when i look at how they are abusing facebook and other types, I really have to wonder if it is a wise thing to do.  I am aware that it can be beneficial, but at the same time it could also be detrimental.I
