Technology for teachers in schools now a days has really changed, I believe it has changed for the better. For example teachers can look up anything on the internet now a days and it is fast and easy. If they would like help making a lesson plan all they have to do it seek help from the internet. If teachers find a cool and interesting computer game that ties in well with their lesion they resort to technology to get the computer game they needed. Technology is a big tool used everyday in the world of education.
Blogs are a really good example of technology that is used in the teaching world today. One good example of a blog that I came across in the 50 Must- see Teacher Blogs is #2 A Fuse #8 Production – Elizabeth Bird. I liked this one because she had YouTube videos, and they were to help you get the whole idea of what she is talking about. I really enjoyed the Reading Rainbow handbook one and she posted this blog to help children come up with books and series that they liked to read. The children could post comments on her blog saying what they liked.
A good example that I came up with was that blogs work very well with communication. The teacher posts something that the student needs to do, and the student can comment back on it asking for help if they need it to complete the task, or just to give there feedback on what the post was about.
Blogs can be used to communicate with parents as well. Blogs have become a wonderful tool to use in technology. There is also lots of other ways to use blogs in the teaching world the list could go on for ever.
