Children Posting to the Internet

I think allowing students to post their own ideas on the Internet lets them express themselves. It allows them to connect to other students and get to comment on others post like on Mrs. Georends Class Blog. These students get to share stories that they have encountered and really get to share their experiences with anyone who wants to read. They get great feed back from their classmates and others. I think posting their thoughts on their blog really gets them excited. I believe allowing students to see each others work and comment on them or have other people comment on them it gets them motivated, and want to do more.You as a parent or a teacher just have to keep close eye so that you know what they are putting out there for the world to see. Making assignments, or telling your child/student what is acceptable and what isn't. Facebook, is another way to connect and share your ideas with people from all over the world. The PS 22 Landslide Video, is another great example of students sharing how they feel.

These different examples are great ways to really share how you feel, do assignments, share experiences and connect with people from all around the world. I think it's important that students share what they want on the Internet that is acceptable. Weather or not it be on Facebook, YouTube, or on Blogger or etc..
