Lesson 8

Yeah, it's the final blog for class! Once I finish this blog I will start blogging solely for school purposes (classroom assignments, what's going on in math class, etc.). This week the purpose of this blog is to talk about the benefits of using different online communication tools within the classroom and any security benefits that the school system has in place. Personally, I am constantly using email to communicate with my parents. In this day and age almost all people are online at some point during the day. The biggest benefit that many have in using email is that they do not have to worry about talking with others over the phone. Due to the restraints on my time schedule while at school I find it easier to send a quick email to the parents regarding what is going on in class and how their child or children are doing in class. I have not had the opportunity to use different communication tools with my students in the classroom. I do feel that this school year I will definetely implement blogs into my classroom. I teach math to three different classes each day, however I do have one class that I have A.R. time with. I feel that it would be awesome for the students to set up their own blog to do book reviews on. This would allow students throughout the school to get an idea of what kind of books are available to them and what the book is like. Lastly, the school system that I teach in has a wonderful security system for our use of technology. The system is set up to reduce any malicious software that could infiltrate the system.
