outside and within the classroom.• The blog is a way to reinforce students to expand on

their ideas, strengthen their writing skills and use critical thinking in lessons he or she will be taught.

• There are different types of blogs: the personal journal, the notebook and the filter blog.

*Be a teacher in whom incorporates all the types of blogs!

• A classroom which has easily moveable desks, and an arsenal of laptop computers opens up a

new world of learning possibilities!

* Desks can be moved around to accommodate any type of learning environment, be

it a lecture, group projects, etc.* There are no wires to trip over, and no bulky desktops to work

around.* Students have the internet at a moments notice at their fingertips!* This type of classroom works even if the teacher doesn’t integrate

the computers intotheir teaching.

“In this wireless classroom, all of the applications we have talked about in this book –

text archives, threaded discussions, blogs, podcasts, feed readers, virtual worlds, class

websites, and class blogs – become even more effective…”

* This type of classroom also allows students to learn at their own pace.

• * “Teaching literature in this classroom, Allen’s students can move smoothly between reading texts online, discussing them, and writing

about them.”• * All the laptops should be connected wirelessly to a big screen projector, so that on top of the teacher being able to share information

with the entire class, it’s easy for

the students to do it too!• * A class blog is easily included into this type of classroom.

• * “Indeed, as the web continues it’s movement toward 2.0 tools – online applications that let us create, share, and organize content like

never before – the ideal classroom

will allow our students to take advantage of these tools.”

Using Class Websites and Class Blogs With

Limited or No Technology Resources

• If there is only one computer in the classroom, then require students to go on to the class website at either home or the library.

• Set up a bulletin board at the front of the class, that feels like a website. Put up a profile about yourself on it, and past works from students that are relevant to the class.
