Internet blogging represents the future of education. No longer do teachers have to learn HTML codes to create effective websites for their students. Blogs allow teachers the ability to communicate with their students when ever they choose to. All teachers have to do is log on, submit, and share.
Blogs have replaced standard class web pages, because they make communicating much easier. Teachers can easily link information that they find on the Internet to reinforce what they are teaching in their own classroom. Examples of past student work can be posted on a blog so current students can see what the instructor is looking for. Blogs can be used to summarize what took place in the course of a day so students that were absent can easily catch up. These summaries can also be useful to students that have a hard time tracking information or staying on task. In addition, blogs provide ways for students to easily communicate with their teacher. If a student has their own blog they can easily submit homework assignments, e-mail questions, or post an on-line journal showcasing their work.
The world is changing. Five year olds now have e-mail addresses. Education must stay current to be effective. The future of education will eventually lead to full time teacher blogs. Blogs allow teachers to share content, instruction, announcements, readings, assignments, etc. with their students. Blogging produces a world of endless learning possibilities.
