Blog about Blogging

I think that the blogging activity was pretty cool. Sometimes its easier to share thoughts by writing and I think the kids enjoy the online time. Some of my concerns would be what they are doing with their time online, I think it would have to be closely modified. I beleive I would use something like this in my classroom. Children not only love attention but love getting mail. While this isn't a mailbox, they can receive comments which can be checked daily, Im sure they get so excited when they see that "new comments!" button.

Games for Learning?

Gee thinks that gameing is an advancement to learning and techniques. By interaction through gameing, he believes children will learn more, experience different identities or roles, which can eventually become motivators for new learning lessons in classrooms and workplaces.

I think that if you allowed children to participate in gameing as a useful learning technique you would have to take a few different factors into place. Not only observe each individual student, but make sure they are following the lesson beyond "beating the game". I loved computer games as a kid, but I think it also takes away from the teacher. Rather than staring at a computer screen, we played games like jeopardy. that was interactive and made us think we were really on a game show. Not just a new character on a game.

I really think it all depends on how it is used in the classroom.
