Blogging in EDM310

I have truly enjoyed learning how to blog. This class was the reason my husband and I signed up for the internet. It has been a good experience, although I am still apprehensive about privacy and security issues.

I believe blogging can be a benefit in the classroom. From a working parents' perspective this can keep me in touch with my child's classroom, her teacher, and special events or assignments at school. There are many occassions where I do not get to meet with teachers or other parents. A class blog can help parents keep in touch with the teacher and each other at their own convenience.

The negative aspect could be a lack of security about the child's work performance. In addition, people tend to share information on email or the internet that should be kept private. There should be a code of ethics and appropriate commentary established when blogs are created for classrooms that would remind teachers and parents that some subject matter should not be shared on the blog.

I agree with you 100% on your comments. I got my brochure done and i am excited about it. I wish it was a true place. I hope your brochure is going good. See you in class.

I am enjoying blogging too. Once I truly get a handle on it, I feel this would benefit me greatly! I hope that the catfish to pecan deal is for real because I do like pecans.
