I really enjoyed the article on Internet Workshops.  My mother is a technology teacher and I have seen her use them in her classroom from time to time.  The students really seem to enjoy it, because they are learning valuable information on a  specific topic.  They don’t have to waste their time looking for reputable websites because the websites are already made available to them for the workshop.

By the time we become well established teachers in the classroom, I believe that blogs are going to be a normal way of teaching our students.  Through blogs teachers can post important information for students to look at and/or read about that may not be available to them through a textbook article.

I also think blogs are critical for sharing information with the students parents.  Since everyone is “Going  Green”, blogging will be a great way to help out our environment, with less paper being printed for newsletters to send home to the kids.  Also, parents can access the blog to view work that their child has done in the classroom.  Students will feel a sense of pride knowing they have a “published” work on the internet.
