The students in my graduate class were asked to read two more articles from the Educational Leadership magazine. This is a greate magazine always full of useful information. The first article was about our changing language due to digital media. I must confess, this is not an area I had given much thought to before reading the article. It mentioned several areas in our language that become more difficult to keep clear and our attitude towards those areas isn't too bothered about it. Being a grammar freak quite often, this almost upset me, until the author pointed out how our English language has changed over the years. Good point.
The second article concerned a blogging project a 5th grade class was participating in. I thought this was a wonderful idea which lead to learning in a different way. I loved how other people responded to their blogs, especially from other parts of the world. They shared information and learned new vocabulary among other things. I can really see the benefits of blogging here. I also like how they stressed the importance of being safe with these students. Great article!
