Chp 6 Blogs

After reading chapter 6, I found very interesting, all the things that can be accomplished with a blog account. I personally think its great to use blogs. There is a lot of things that can be done with a blog, for example, learning outside of class. Teachers and students can communicate and share opinions with the whole class without being in class. At the same time people can post any kind of information such as reminders and due dates. I do not think blogs are a waste of time, but I guess it depends on how students use them. I see a lot more benefits than wasting time. I like the fact that teachers can post videos of experiences and this can help the students understand any topics. In the book it talks about science teachers posting physics videos, but I feel like any teacher can actually post educational video. I think that if blogs are used correctly, there will be many benefits to the class in general.

Hello everyone,
My name is Adriel Gonzalez and in the next few lines I will introduce myself. First of all, I was born in Mexico and I have been here in the United States for almost eleven years. I have two older brothers and a younger sister. This is my second semester at Texas A&M Commerce, and I transfer from Eastfield College where I completed my basic courses. My major is Kinesiology with an all teacher certification, and Counseling. In my free time I like to play sports and just spend time with my friends. My favorite sports are tennis and soccer, but I like to play most sports for fun.
