Teaching the netgeners...

Today we learned about this cool, interesting blog site for teachers, students and their parents, and according to our professor, it is completely safe (imbee.com)! This is an aspect of technology that can be used anytime throughout the year and for various reasons. Not only that, but it will have a huge effect on students' interests. They will love knowing their stuff is published, and with the option of having some of their work printed for gifts to their parents is an added bonus.
Not only can the classroom community members access the blog, other teachers can see the student's work if they are added, even if they are in another state! I can already envison my future students and myself working with another pre-service teacher's future class. It could open so many doors to education. I didn't come from a technological background, but the more I learn about technology, the more excited I am about learning more so that my future class can become technologically savvy!
