Readings Blogs & Wiki's

Blogs

  • I read through all of the links.
  • One I didn't know what we were suppose to look at.
  • I of course understand what the blogs are.
  • I really like how easy it is to create one. I can't believe that I could figure out how to even embed something in it.
  • I know that schools and websites are using blogs as their websites. I would like to know a little bit more about how to setup or change the layout of the blog.
  • I teach computers so everyday my students have an assignment on the computer.
  • When I am at school I always have to tell the students about 10 steps to get them to be where I want them to go for the day. It would be so much simpler if I could say go to my website(blog) and click where ever. They are so easy to update. I know I wouldn't have time everyday to update my actual website. I could post assignments everyday.
  • I think if set up correctly even my 4th graders could find things easily. It takes me a long time to tell them were to go.
  • I really want to try the http://www.classblogmeister.com/ I just haven't had a reason to use it in class. Right now I am creating 5 new projects for 4th quarter and don't know how it would fit in.

Wiki's

  • From what I read I would much rather create a blog.
  • Wiki's seem like a lot to remember how to format them.
  • Then someone could delete or change them.
  • That would not be good for my classes. Somehow they already manage to delete other people work without Wiki's.
  • I like the concept of students changing and editing each other work.
  • I have heard about the advantages and the success stories.
  • I would just to worried to try it.
