Traditional weg pages vs. blogs

What are the benefits of web pages vs. blogs? This is my first experience with blogging, but it seems to be a more immediate medium. I fling my thoughts into cyberspace where others can instantly connect and comment on them. I don't yet know what the benefits are. Do most bloggers find their followers helpful? I've peeked in on blog sites in the past, and most people who post seem genuinely helpful. I am looking forward to this aspect. I do love the idea of finding experts and seasoned users who can help me through pitfalls and tech. troubles. I'm much more comfortable using a web site to communicate, and like the fact that is is static. Once things are posted, I can use them as a reference for future use. A downside is that there isn't really interactive communication, it is a one way conversation. How do teachers use their websites or blogs in an educational setting with elementary-age students? Let me know.

Blog's Inception

Fellow Teacher Techies,
This blog has been created as an assignment for a graduate level class on Adapting Innovative Technology to Education. My current ed. tech. passion is the integration of the SMART Board and document camera into my daily teaching. I am finding wonderful and exciting ways to bring a world of information into my third grade classroom. I know we are all at various levels of technological proficiency, so this might be just the place for all learners to share their ideas, products, lessons, wondering, questions, and yes, rants. Join me in talking about the benefits and disappointments surrounding technology and teaching!
