The article I found is called Educational Blogging by Stephen Downes. It takes about how fifth and sixth graders in Quebec City respond to blogging in the classroom. One of the students writes, "The blogs give us a chance to communicate between us and motivate us to write more. When we publish on our blog, people from the entire world can respond by using the comments link. This way, they can ask questions or simply tell us what they like. We can then know if people like what we write and this indicate[s to] us what to do better. By reading these comments, we can know our weaknesses and our talents. Blogging is an opportunity to exchange our point of view with the rest of the world not just people in our immediate environment." As you can this student finds blogging to be a very positive experience. Education bogging is growing daily. Not just in the classroom but outside as well. Teachers can use it to organize class discussions. People can use blogs to post many different things such as something special that has happened to them. It has almost become a diary for students. As you can see there are many positive aspects of blogging in the classroom.
I selected this artical because in class we had to select a question we wanted to know more about. It also realated well to elementary school students. The question I had was how can blogging be effectively used for education in today's society? I feel this article answers this well because the students themselves gave examples as to how they used blogging in their learning. It also showed teachers different ways they could incorporate it into their lessons.
