Closing in on the End

As I have been working on all of the different types of software, I cannot help but wonder the balance of usage there must be in order to integrate each type of software without the students becoming sick of it. Then it had occur ed to me that students would most likely enjoy something such as a blog, not only to communicate with the teacher, but with each other. Phones and cell phones are fine, but you are connected with only one person at a time. With blogging, you could set a time and from there, questions, ideas, and brainstorming sessions could occur without having to play phone tag, email tag, an so on.

In a perfect classroom, I would think that the students would want to be connected as much as possible with the rest of the students that they work with, as well as with the teacher. This really is a powerful tool. I hope to be able to use this in class in the future as a tool for when students are at home. I guess its the new phone number, only student just type in what they need to know. Obviously, discussion rooms would be the best thing, blogging must be the next best thing to that.
