Blogs

Strenghts
Blogs can be used to record student's ideas, thoughts and feelings. Blogs can be used in class as learning journals or for students to talk about particular topics.

Weaknesses
Blogs have a limited range of uses. However, many students could access the same account with the same username and password. Blogs are an effective tool when used for reflecting on others work.

Opportunities
I believe that teachers should take the opportunity to have their students use blogs as a learning journal. Blogs could increase the student's technology capabilities, reflecting practices and overall journaling skills.

Threats
Not all students will have access to the internet all the time and so time will have to be given to these students for them to be able to access the site.

My learning about Blogs
Participating in this course for the second time has allowed me a great chance of interacting with many different ICT's that could possibly be used within the classroom. I personally find that blogs are an effective way for students to share their ideas about topics.
