I have really become a fan of blogging. I think its a great way to get a message across about anything! It is also simple and easy, so people of all ages can create and publish posts to a blog very easily. Chapter 3 of Will Richardson's " Blogs, wikis, podcasts, and other powerful web tools for classrooms" ask some excellent ideas about blogs.
I believe safety is something that is very important especially for young students who are new to not only blogs but the internet. A teacher should monitor was his or her students are looking at while on the classroom computer.
Blogs are a great tool for a teacher. A place to display student work or class projects. And a place for parents to see what their children are doing while in school.

Buddy-My Tech Savvy Kitty
The other night while working on some homework my cat, affectionately called Buddy, jumped up on my bed and curled into a little ball next to me. After a couple of minutes he became restless and stretched out and used my computer as a pillow. Although this was probably unintentional on his part, I liked to think he wanted to help me with my Observation Report!Isn't it funny how we have become accustomed to having a technology
and computers in our daily life. I can still remember my first contact with a computer. I was in the 2nd grade and my class was in the computer lab for the first time. We were seated in pairs in front of these very large computers that had black screens and green writing. I remember being so excited and amazed by the computer and not wanting to leave the lab. Now I could not imagine going a day without checking my email or going to my favorite sites.
