1) It's a good way to establish an online community. I am hoping that this blog will create, and speak to a community of future educators who are lost when it comes to technology, and social media.
2) It will allow teachers to understand where our students are coming from, and what is significant in their lives.
3) It allows students and teachers to create digital media texts.
4) The web has room for everyone to be a publisher and share their thoughts.
5) By exposing students to technology, it will help them recognize forces that shape the media.
6) It allows student's to bring their home culture to school.
7) Technology and media allow students to critically analyze media texts that will help build on their multimediating experiences.
8) It teaches students that social media can be professional. It doesn't have to be about how much booze was drank over the weekend, and who slept with who.
9) Instruction that controls media will help students learn to use media in a responsible, and mature manner.
10) Students can look at different texts online as well as in print, and make connections between these different texts to construct knowledge.
11) Students will aquire many different literacies. (As well as teachers, if you are a bafoon like me).
