Blogs in elementary schools the PROS and CONS (I’m biased) PROS CONS • Running record for conferences • Social learning (girls-collaborative) • Authentic Audience • Different Medium for Homework (NOT ALL THE TIME) • Increased Student Motivation • Teaching web safety • A Positive Way to use Computer Time • Specific Praise • Typing skills • Preparing Kids for the future • This is new. Change isn’t easy. • I don’t have time for it…especially monitoring it. • Safety? • Parents • They’re too young.
