Blogs are a lot like people in the sense that no two are the same. I guess that this shouldn't come as a surprise since blogs are created by people after all. After looking at almost all the blogs of everyone in this class, and the few that i chose to follow the thing that kept sticking out to me was the uniqueness of each blog. For instance the last blog post that most of us did for class was about copyright. We all had the same few articles to choose from, but yet we all wrote very different things. It is so interesting to me that we can all read the same thing and take away such different things from it. I guess that as teachers that can be an important thing to remember, that when you have your students read something they may all come up with different opinions about it.
I think that each blogs uniqueness is what can make them so useful. It would not be much of a help if all education blogs took the same stance on every issue. It is really nice to be able to want to learn something new about a topic and have so many different opinions on the topic right at your fingertips. This way you can spend some time learning about different points of view, and you may even see something in a way that you would never have thought possible before. I think that this is a huge benefit for teachers that no generation of teachers has had before. I hope that everyone uses all of these great new resources to their full benefit.
I am enjoying reading everyone's take aways on copyright and seeing you all learn from each other in the process.
