My first blog
Oh, it's not really my first blog, but it's my first blog here. I'm doing a course on emerging technologies and it seems to be that the best way to really learn about the application of these is to use them in the class I am teaching.
Well, if I want my students to start blogging, then I too, should write a blog. They can read mine and we can read each other's.
Why do I want my students to have a blog? First of all to see if they are useful tools in a language classroom. Secondly, to encourage them to write more frequently. Next, to encourage them to read (each other's blogs). Also, it's a way that we can communicate as a group. There are only eight students in the class so that's not too much to read.
When I see the class next, on Wednesday, we can go to the computer room and everyone can begin their blog.
