1.) Blogs are a great way to get all students in the classroom involved. Students can blog about their daily lives, so that they become more comfortable with writing. Blogs can be used to create an archive of events from the news- as students can blog about a particular news story that they find interesting. Blogs can also be used in the classroom to explain a daily math problem. Students can be given a daily math problem that they can explain to their peers--if their peers don't understand the problem they can read how a fellow peer completed it...sometimes the best way to learn is from their peers.
There are many advantages and disadvantages alike when using technology in the classroom. Some advantages are that all students can be fully involved. Technology, especially for the students in classrooms now days, is part of their daily lives, they will find learning more fun if education is brought into their world. Finally, another advantage is that through technology, teachers can assess their students anonymously through clickers.
Some disadvantages are that some students may become easily distracted. Another disadvantage is that not all students, even though they come from a technology-literate age, may not be accustomed to using such technology, and may lag behind. Additionally, not all technology that a teacher may want to use will be available for use in their district or in their school.
