To Blog Or Not To Blog

http://elearningtech.blogspot.com/2006/10/top-ten-reasons-to-blog-and-top-ten.html

This article is simply a humurous acknowledgment of the fact that YES blogs exsist and YES we are all going to have to live with that!

The article highlights the fact that blogs are not a craze, that students and young people ould almost rely on them like a life line! It makes the point that if a teacher wants to relate to their students and really optimise their learning then the best way to do that is through mediums that students relate to. mediums such as computers, technology, ICT and gasp... BLOGS!

It also makes light of the Digital Immigrants stuck in the "dark ages" who refuse to acknowledge or use blogs. It says that thses are the people who will literally be left behind. In tearms of effective teaching and learning and relating to their students, I think
it is very true! Teachers must understand and communicate effectively through all means with their students if they wish for them to learn!
