Blogs are a great source to inform students of the teachers upcoming assignments,calendars and hold class discussions. The students can reply and have on line discussions allowing them to see others point of view; this allowing the student to see how others view and look at the subject or assignments.
I believe that technology should be intergrated in the classroom, because this is the age of the computer, and students can have interaction with virtual reality with subjects and this would allow field trips without leaving the classroom and allowing student to a hands experience and the technology can make a subject more interesting for the students and also allowing individual expressions and students can work a pace that is comfortable for them unless there is a group project. The technology intergration is also important for the students, because it also will prepare them for the workforce, because computers are used everywhere and this would familiarize the students with usage and computer experience. I would use blogs in the classrooms to hold oline discussions, to deliver assignments, announcements, events, and others class information. A link to another class in any part of the world to form online book clubs and etc, debates, show examples of good writings, and even create a a class newpapers the uses of blogs in the class are endless.
