Chapter 4

What a lot of interesting technology is out there for teachers to use. I really like the idea of student blogs so that they can write what they are thinking or needing help on in real time. This is more effective than a traditional method of journaling because the teacher has immediate access to the students' work as soon as it is posted.  Also, students may feel more free to ask questions through the blog. Many students don't like to raise their hand to clarify information but the blog makes that a more private solution.  Also, I had not considered how important on line learning could be for small school systems to offer higher level classes to students who need them but be unable to obtain them within their own school system.
