Blogging is something I never thought I would do, but have come to do quite a bit. In my start up class for 5-Star Academy I am now writing about why everyone should blog.
Blogging helps everyone write better. I think that as a teacher it is important to show others that you can write something, even if you don't like doing it. Many times a student will say they don't like writing and when it comes to essays they do a very poor job. If you show them that it can be very meaningful and that people will read what is said then they find that it is important. The way someone writes really does change who they are and how they are going to be when they get older. Students who blog become better writers and see that what they write can make a difference. Blogs get posted on the internet and everyone has a chance to see them. If a student, teacher, doctor, or anyone else writes and publishes it then they will be able to see how many people are able to learn from the information they provide.
In this first course through 5-star academy I have come to learn about Google chrome. I was never interested in changing from Mozilla Firefox to Google chrome because I was comfortable with it. Now that I have had a chance to see the difference between the two browsers I am excited to start using google chrome. Google Chrome really helps the individual user make it their own browser. Most browsers have options, but not as many as Google chrome does. I have learned how to add apps to personalize things that I like on chrome. I have learned to block out unwanted ads and to import bookmarks from other browsers that I use often.
