Second, I dont know where to start!
Third, This is why I think Students should Blog(:
http://murcha.wordpress.com/2008/03/14/20-reasons-why-students-should-blog/
I went to that website and read the article about why students should Blog. some of the reasons I did not agree with but most of them I did. I don't agree with at least 3 of them:
- Reason Number 3- Learning and Writing should suit all learning styles. Nobody should be left out! Not even if you are gifted ed, visual students, or ‘normal‘ students. EVERYBODY should have the same learning at their own levels and own learning strategies!
- Reason Number 15- The computer can, yes, keep your projects and school work safe...BUT, it can also delete it just as easily.
- Reason Number 19- "Students are happy to share"....Well, not all of the time. you should still get their 'permission' to share their writings if that is what you want to share. Kids may still want to have their "Student-Teacher Privacy".
I also have at least three reasons why I agree with it..The ones I agree with strongly are:
- Reason Number 1- Most kids and teenagers LOVE the internet and to be able to get their work done and be on the internet at the same time seems more fun than sitting at a desk, handwriting everything.
- Reason Number 5- I, personally, like reading fun things more than research papers. To learn stuff from their peers' blogs, would make them super happy!
- Reason Number 21- Yes! We get to make our own decisions?! Yeah, you do now! Kids can be creative and have fun writing about whatever they want!
Those are just the main ones that I either agree or disagree with. I had to give an argument so I dont just say "I think we should blog...". I needed a reason to fight over blogging, with myself

Nice work, CBB! I love your layout - although the font is sometimes difficult to read. Your writing is quite clear and easy for readers/followers to understand what you're "getting at." I love that you are playing around with the tools in Blogger such as the font, layout, links, etc. Keep up the play (BEST way to learn in my opinion) and your critical thinking!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have things you both agree and disagree with! It seems like you have great critical thinking skills, which is amazing. I am very excited to get to know you better through your blog!
ReplyDeleteI really appreceate that you thought this over with yourself! Its really great that you could come up with and notice these points, I think it is very helpful in life to come at a topic or situation from both sides, as you did here. I also agree with everything you said, I really agree with your comment on how not all students want to share their life or views and this is a barrier not all people notice. So, great work! I am excited to see your next posts
ReplyDeleteI really like this blog Crystal because you let yourself come out in your blogging i guess:)
ReplyDeleteI liked how you said 3 reasons why you dissagree and 3 reasons why you agree with the lady's post! Your a great writer and I really want to read more things by you!
