My qusetions response

Well, this would be the first blog I ever done. So as far as I am concerned blogs are not all important to my everyday life. Not that I do not think they are useful, but as it pertains to me I do not have a need to. I think as far as educationally speaking, they could very useful. As Tyson covered as a teacher it helps to talk to the parents. Anything the parents of the children need to know is right there for them to look at. I thought his discussion on the lesson for the day be posted was a great idea. Make the child think about the lesson even after school, helps it keep it fresh on his mind. Also shows the kids that their parents are taking notice to what they are learning and to them as a student. As far as the students go, it could do nothing but help. As he talked about, students that lost there paperwork could go on there and look at it and print it off. I can remember countless times when I was in high school alone that I lost paper work and ended up not doing it and taking the zero. Like I said it seems to be useful all across the bored as for the students and parents of the children. Technology has continued to grow and help out in any aspect of life, so why not in the education department. I do not see the reason to say it is a waste of time in the classroom, it is all done after class. I believe that it takes some of the stress off the teachers as far as responsibility of homework and lessons. So that the student can not deny do something that day in class, if on the blog online it is saying the opposite.
