Assn.#3 Blogs in education

I have a optional feeling of how well blogs, or technology is used to teach students in education. On one hand you can relate more to students who are current with today's technology, but on the other hand it can be more of a "time eater" cause we all know how much time we get with students each week. When you teach agriculture there are just somethings you have to teach "hands on", and require hours of repetition. I guess if i had to make a decision on this matter i would say yes to blogs if they are used in the right manner. When teachers set up there blog it needs to be set up in a manner that is completely educational, not recreational. Students should be able to personalize there blog, but the teachers should regulate what is posted, pictures uploaded, and what comments are left to each student's blogs. The blogs should be professional, cause when students have sign on names like "Kinky Girl" or some other derogatory name it just doesn't make the students look professional or the teachers. When dealing with high school students i would personally get a waver singed, and each parent should have access to the blog at all times. I don't feel like this type of technology is a waste of time, but more or less a tool for higher education and analytical thinking.

A little bit about me

Well let's just start this off right ,and begin with a quote i love which was pro founded by one of the greatest educators, inventors ,and politicians in the United States of America. "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."-- Benjamin Franklin. This man was portrayed as one of four fathers so this quote this makes old Ben one of my greatest ancestors. Past the jokes and good times my name is Kyle Polk i am from Winnsboro,Tx and i am an Agriculture Education Major. After college i plan to start teaching some were in the East Texas Area. I Have one Brother ,and both my parents whom reside in Winnsboro. I grew up in a small town like most of us there wasn't much to do so we found many events. Some were more politically correct than others you could say. I am currently involved with a significant other you could call. Her name is Casey, and she is in my profile pic i do believe she is very hot for my standers. Like i said past all the jokes I'm just another good ole boy just trying to get that education.
