After reviewing David Warlick's blog I realized there is so much that can be achieved though blogs. On February 1, 2013 Mr. Warlick posted the video Washing Your Hands in Space. How COOL! Students from Corpus Christi, Texas were able to ask an astronaut questions about space. Oh the possibilities! If a blog can connect people who are "out of this world" with students in a classroom, connecting students around the world will be no problem! There are so many opportunities for learning to take place. Students on two different sides of the world can both engage in inquiry by interviewing each other while breaking geographical roadblocks. This is so exciting!
A classroom blog can redirect education as we know it. There can be external learning links, student work can be displayed and accessed for future projects. In addition to having limitless learning opportunities, a different kind of connection can be created in the classroom society with a classroom blog. Teachers as well as students can post links and videos which can inspire learning, such as the Washing Your Hands in Space video. There are so many educational opportunities for blogs in a classroom, I cannot wait to apply them in my own.
