Why Students Should Blog

When I watched the Youtube video first about "Why Let Our Students Blog" I found the fact there are younger students (grade 2s - 3s) that are a 1:1 laptop school too. It's pretty cool to see what younger students have been doing stuff with the computers, maybe even better than us.
I enjoyed the part where the person who made the video included the part for our "digital future". As we go further up the years, our lives will obviously become incredibly "digital". With all the technology being created every day, we can't start learning about the electronic world when we're older. We have to start young and we'll obviously learn more stuff in the future. Gradually, we'll learn more more the gadgets and wizzes as we're in a 1:1 computer school. We can obviously learn all this stuff too...through blogging. :]

For the blog post about 20 (its actually 21 reasons) reasons why students should blog, I liked the part that states "Students are digital natives - blogging is a natural element of this." Yes, because we are children living in this generation, writing a lock-and-key diary is the same writing a blog. It's natural for us.
"Prepares students for digital citizenship as they learn cybersafety and netiquette" This is good because in the future

Student 2.0

Think that the posts at Student 2.0 is kinda not really interesting to me. Most of the authors are all high school students with problems that high school students have. Like college? Do we really need to be worrying about college right now when we're only in middle school.
If we wanted to talk to people in Korea or Sudan, I think then we would have showed more interest in those countries. What people our age like doing is hanging out. Having fun for the few more years until we have to worrying about everything else.
We don't really bother about somethings that happen in another school. Will it have an impact of out school?
I think we should look into something and write about something that interests us...not something that might interest people who are older than us and have better will to do something they want...like blogging.

Three Lessons from High School: Student 2.0

I listened to the video of "Three Lessons from High School 2.0" and i think that Anthony Chivetta, the student who posted that blog post has many good advice, for someone in another type of school. Those kind of advice would have worked, depending on the school's situation and the type of relationships that people have. His school must have been a large school where you don't know the names of a person a year older than you. That is the school where no one really cares about what you do. His advice would have worked if you found some logic in it. Like what would happen in reality if everyone could track your mistakes and hold you to it forever. Those advice, in my opinion, expired about 10 years ago when everyone was best friends with each other in a school and there were no complications along the way.

I think that its better that the author, Anthony Chivetta used video as a post but he could have made it a little more interesting. Halfway I started to get bored and i almost fell asleep. An advice would have been to make the video presentation a little more interesting and something that would have caught the attention of normal students that may have other problems.
