Weblog can play an important role in the classroom if we use it as a communication tool. The best way to develop weblog potential is by using it. If as future teachers we want our students to use weblog as a Read/Write Web, we have to model appropriate ways of doing it. The first step to start of is to read other people's blog and post comments to it. Then we can create our own blog, so other people can make comment to our writing. If we use weblog, and place homework and relevant class link on it, we are encouraging our students to use it as well

Hello Classmates!
I am amazed how technology could contribute to make our job as future teachers more interesting, easier and enjoyable. Many different types of tecnology can be used to support and enhance learning. For example word-Processing and E-Mail promote communication skills, database and spreadsheet programs promote organization skills. However, after what I have learned so far about weblogs, I think this software has a huge potencial in an educational setting. Weblogs is comprised of reflections and conversations that in many cases are updated every day. One of the biggest potencial of Weblogs is the ability to create spaces were students can collaborate with others online. Blogs is a wonderfull link that teachers could use in their classrooms to post class schedules, calendar, homework, student work, etc. Teachers can also use wedblogs to create class portal and connect to other classrooms and parents, etc. By preparing students to be competente in technology, we are increasing their chances to be successful in a more growing society.
