The world of blogging has always been of little interest to me. I don't understand why some people feel the need to share their lives so publicly. Having never explored blogs I am suprised by the ease of setting them up and maintaining them. This ease has enabled me to see it as a good means of sharing information with family, friends, colleagues, students more easily than via email or other possible social networking sites. The thing that I wonder though is the privacy of this information you place on the World Wide Web.
As a teacher blogs can open so many doors. Professionally they can allow interaction between teacher and student, along with student and student. The realm of possibilities to share information and communicate together in a none classroom environment is convenient and easy. The ability for a teacher to share advice, notes, tasks and activities is easy and great. The options for students to comment on each others work and share experiences and thoughts creates a learning experience which is student focused. I am keen to use blogging as a means of continual student and teacher interaction in the future, the realm of possibilities to share resources, ideas and thoughts is extremely diverse.
