The article "uses of blogs in education" is a very informative article. It talks about 5 major uses for blogs in education. Blogs would be very useful for students to communicate with the teacher and to collaborate with students in close or across the world. This would encourage students to use technology more.

I think the article "Should technology integration be an important goal in schools" was a good article. I agree with the writer that technology should be used when it betters the understanding of the assignment  to the child. If it helps the child learn its doing a good thing. But, sometimes people use technology as a baby sitter or a practice tool for recall of a subject. How to actually use the technology should be taught in computers, and then the children should use what they learned in the classroom to complete projects.
