Reflection 6-
Since the beginning of time, society has expressed itself through music, fashion, likes and dislikes. No different than the past, kids in the 21st century do the same; however, much of their expression is now displayed online. Social networking, the Internet, and blogs are just a few means of technology that students utilize to communicate their personal expression.
Bringing this media and expression into the classroom is the next logical step in advancing our schools into the 21st century. There are numerous benefits of implementing and incorporating technology such as blogs into the classroom and content curriculum.
For one, it creates a collaborative online learning community. Students can bounce ideas back and forth, keep each other posted on news and current events, and discuss and conduct various assignments and projects. Not only can blogs create a collaborative online learning community within a classroom or campus, it can create cross-curricular learning opportunities in the school and beyond the school walls. This new and unprecedented phenomenon is opening up a new learning world across the country and across the globe. Our 21st century learners can now be exposed to the surrounding world and collaborate with others in ways like never before.
The inside of the classroom has finally caught up with the outside world that is rich in new and ever-changing technologies and equipments that will allow students worldwide to experience and interact in their own personal learning and academic success.
