The genre of blog writing in general is very wide spread and very truthful. Some comments are funny and the others can hurt the writers feelings. Some are very short and direct and others are very drawn out. Most blogs are different subjects and you are not tied down to one specific topic. You are achieving the common goal of READING! You are reaching a larger span of people. The old and the young. It is similar because the kids are reading and writing. Commenting is expressing your views and also lending support to people who need it. Yes, there is a blogging literacy. If I were to read a teenagers blog, I bet I could not tell you 1/2 of what it means. Blogging affects the way we read and write, we read more for understanding and we tend to watch what we write. Also, blogging sometimes lets our full emotions come out. The kids are more likely to post on a blog than to write on paper. They are more happy to read on the computer than in a book.

The web 2.0 is not for everyone. Students who have computer knowledge are lucky and those who do not are going to be the kids left behind. What happens to those students who need a hard copy to study from? There are plenty of visual learners out in the world today. What happens to those kids whose computers crash and all information is lost and your paper is due tomorrow? If we do not keep up with todays technology we the educators will be left behind, also. We can use these tools to overlap in certain subjects and kids in todays society are more out to use computers instead of learning how to hunt information in libraries. It has a lot of benefits but there is a lot of downfall to it to. Electronics are taking over, what did we before them!!!!

My name is Deborah Wilson. I am a special ed. parapro at Yargo Elementary School in Barrow County. This is my 15th year in special ed. I have been with the same teacher for this long and she has been terrific. This past year I have been doing inclusion in grades 3 and 4. I have been amazed at how the regular ed. classes and the special ed. classes have become one. I am taking this course in order to gain more knowledge from the different people out there who may have different ideas. I hope to gain understanding on how this blogging works and how to make better use of the computer.
