week 13 Reflection - benifits and limitations of blogs in the classroom

The blogs are used as reminders and notes because they are used to write down the most important items you would like to achieve. Nowadays blogs are considered as one of the most modern and developed equipment.Blogs are used to take notes because its clear that humans forget things easily. I use it daily at school to write down the meeting times , complaints , speeches and some other notes about teachers , students , classes or the teaching process in general.
Blogs can be used to strengthen and transform classroom learning. By using blogging as both an extension and enrichment to classroom practices, student learning in these classes was more individualized, relationships between students and significant others (including teachers) were nurtured, and students were given new ways to interact with the concepts and their community that are uncommon in many classrooms.
I have about benefit of blog which are:·
1 Doing reflect every week help me to think in want I took and did also how to benefit from that and improve myself.
2 Interact with other people outside to know their opinions and suggestions in my work or reflect·
3 It helps me to write about important things for me.
4Encourage me to share and interact with others.
5 Enhance me to be creative and I am really happy to have my special blog and share it with my friends.

finally :

I sincerely believe using blog software to manage certain kinds of content on a web site such as an online media room, to archive newsletters, post frequently asked questions and to provide product updates can make a site that is otherwise very search engine un-friendly, become a viable source of great rankings. This applies to both regular search engines as well as blog search engines. These are applications for a blog besides the common use as a platform to increase credibility and communicate .

When need to construct the concept mapping
What is a concept map? A concept map presents the relationships among a set of connected concepts and ideas. It is a tangible way to display how your mind "sees" a particular topic. By constructing a concept map, you reflect on what you know and what you don't know. In a Concept Map, the concepts, usually represented by single words enclosed in a rectangle (box), are connected to other concept boxes by arrows. A word or brief phrase, written by the arrow, defines the relationship between the connected concepts. Major concept boxes will have lines to and from several other concept boxes generating a network. There are many sites on the Internet that provide additional background on Concept Maps of which the following are a few.
Steps in Making a Concept Map
Write down major terms or concepts about a topic.
Identify the most general, intermediate, and specific concepts.
Begin drawing the concept map:
Concepts are circled
Place the most general concepts at the top
Place intermediate concepts below general concepts
Put specific concepts on bottom
Draw lines between related concepts.
Label the lines with linking words to indicate how the concepts are related.
To be effective maps need to be :-easy to modify -easy to add information and easy to modify handwritten .
For example different between animal and plaint.
