Technology is more universal today than ever and it’s a wonderful device to enhance communication skills. I believe that blogs are fundamental tools that when used appropriately they can essentially provide people with resources to use in all aspects of life. They’re great educational tools to assist with interaction amongst administration, colleagues, students, and parents. Blogs can eventually bridge the gap between home/school communication and increase parental involvement. Using them helps teachers facilitate learning through the use of literature, writing, metacognition analysis, increase higher order thinking skills, etc. If a blog is properly monitored by facilitators it can also be used as an intervention for students with disabilities and broaden the horizon in inclusive classroom. “Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms,” by Will Richardson supports my beliefs on blogs. Here are a few websites and periodicals that also support my beliefs. Please read to get a closer look on how effective blogs are in education.
