I see several ways in which technologies such as: blogs, google reader, and wikis can be used in the classroom. The main way that I personal use blogs is by reading them and using ideas and teacher wisdom to enhance my own instruction. I have found so many ideas and had many aha moments when reading blogs to help me better cover certain concepts. Google Reader can also be used along with blogs to keep track of, or follow blogs you like. Another way these technologies can be utilized in the classroom setting is by having a classroom Wiki. Wikis are great tools for projects, discussion, and collaboration between students and the teacher. Wikis can also be set up as activities, introductions, or reinforcement of lessons. I know there are others ways in which to incorporate these technologies into my classroom, but for now these are the ways I use.
