Questions for Week 2

I think that blogs are a great tool. People can learn from each other and when people get stuck on a assignment or project they can turn to others to help them create ideas. There have been many times that I have had a brain freeze and just by talking to others been able to get out of that brain freeze. I think that blogs in the classrooms is a good idea because some students can't communicate out loud but they are more comfortable communicating over the computer. By allowing students to open up over the computer maybe they will soon get comfortable over time and be able to communicate in the classroom out loud. So if somebody wanted my opinion on blogs, I would have to tell them that I am all for blogs in the classroom. I believe that it is a good communication channel for students and I think that it is away for kids to give their opinion or put their ideas out there for others.

I am a kines major and I am having a hard time coming up with a blog for the classroom.... but the only thing I can come up with is when a teacher needs ideas about how to teach something. Another idea for blogging is when a teacher comes up with a really good idea and wants to share it with others that they can blog it and put that idea out there for others to use it.

All About Me...

My name is Neal Locke and I live in Caddo Mills. I am currently attending Texas A&M Commerce to get my degree in Kinesiology. I have about a year and a half left before I can actually get a job. I have a 4 year old little girl named Chloe. She is my everything and I don't know what I would do without her. Chloe and I like all the same things such as fishing, racing, football, and going to the movies. Anything else you want to know.... you can just ask.
