WHAT ARE WE BLOGGING ABOUT? Many teachers and some of my students always ask me such a question when I introduce them to blog ! When they intend to learn further after knowing the beauty of blog that’s another thing…..
Technology is allowing anyone with a computer, the ability to type, and an Internet connection to become a published author—of sorts. Web logs, or “blogs,” are the latest way that students, businesses, and many others are publishing their musings.
More importantly, blogs are “typically updated daily” and that “blogs often reflect the personality of the author.”
Yet, it is the content of blogs that matters, not the tool. The tools allow a broad, non-technical audience to publish news, information, and opinions widely. The content can range from dyed-in-the-wool journalism to stream-of-consciousness revelations. What you really need to consider before blogging, is: Why are you going to do it? To reach individuals with critical information, to express opinions, to teach students writing skills, or simply as an outlet for personal frustrations?
As a teacher (and blogger) I say, “Ask yourself, ‘So what?’ before you start blogging. Will your blog add to the world of knowledge and learning, or is it just for fun?”
I do hope technology through blog could bring betterment to teachers to ensure quality education in Indonesia
