CEDU 534 Week 1

Lots to do, read and contemplate this week. I would really like to try to incorporate Blogs into my classroom curriculum. I think for many of my reluctant writers it would be motivating. They would be able to get that more immediate feedback that they have become accustomed to, thanks to video games. Also, it's exciting for them to see their writing published and i think that they would feel the need to put more effort into spelling, punctuation, capitalization and overall sentence structure if they knew their peers were going to be reading it. At this point I cannot access any blogging sites at my school. Anything with Blog in the name is blocked by the firewall and deemed inappropriate. It will be a battle to convince the powers that be, that blogging is a worthwhile education activity.
