Some impediment would be not having computers inside the class .
One of the impediments of using blogs is not having technological devices at class, so you dont have the activities at hand.
Another impediment is when you teach little students and they dont know how to manage technology, for the suggested activity.
One of the impediments of using blogs is not having the technological devices necessaries for working in class also that some students are not ready yet for this kind of activities, so it should be a previous workshop of how to use blogs focused on students needs.

1. I DON'T LIKE PUBLIC PLACES WHERE EVERYONE CAN BE SOMEONE DIFFERENT.
2.
Blogs are useful to share activities with teachers not only at your school, but getting ideas from different people.
1. What would be some of the impediments to use a blog?
Student´s or teacher´s lack of computer habilities, fear to do somethig you don´t know or understand.
2. What is your personal opinion about blogs?
I think is a good way to get to know students opinions about a story in particular, not to waste paper, or contribute students´computer habilities. It would be good and easy to check if you have a computer available.
3. What opportunities do blogs provide for teachers and students?
Have and share opinions because when you ask for students´opinions in their notebook only you and her learn from those opinions but if you share it in a public place you can benefit of the opinions and thoughts of all classmates.
4. How can both teachers and students take advantage of blogs as learning environments? To learn about everyone´s opinions, to really share what you think about something in particular.
5. How would you use a blog?
Have a story or activity set on the blog. Ask students to share their insight opinion. Read at least three other opinions and rethink of what they have written .
Make a special place for students to talk about other people´s opinions.
I believe that blogs are part of today's culture, so we as teachers have to be prepare for this kind of technology because it provides new ideas to different classes.

blogs promote communication between teachers and classmates, every body learns one from each other, and SS. proote their critical way of thinking.
1. For me it is very difficult to use the computer, I love to use it, but I do not know how.
2. My personal opinion is that is very important to know how to use all things in computer, so you are like informed in the way everything is done.
3.They will have more places and tools to improve their way of teaching and learning.
4. They can take advantage as a very good tool and as a new resource.
5.I would use as a resource if I need help to give a class, or as a good way to learn new things for my classes.

Some of the impediments could be that a student could use somebody else´s name or do somebody else´s homework.
For a teacher could be not having Internet all the time,so they cannot update their blog so often.
1.- I think that one impediment could be how to use technology in an effective way.
2.- I think it is an important tool for teachers in order to get and share information.
3.- There are a variety of oportunities because we as teachers can get ideas to improve
our classes.
4.- As a different resource to learn and use technology, because it is really important for students and teachers.
5.- I should use a blog to share information and ideas to help others improve their activities, and as a helper in my classes, assigning students to work on it.
I think that they will enjoy this kind of learning.
You can share information with collegues about the same topic.
1. What would be some of the impediments to use a blog? Time is not an option.
R/ You must have internet access to create a blog. If your internet access is too slow, then you will be limited to work efficiently. You must have at least a low-high level of computer knowledge in order to access or better yet, to create your own blog. You can't be creative while creating your blog; you must use the layouts the blog programs give you.
2. What is your personal opinion about blogs?
R/ It is an easy option to have an internet page. It seems like a fast way to create an electronic access to information.
3. What opportunities do blogs provide for teachers and students?
R/ Students can post an question, and teachers or other students can provide the answer. You can have links to other sites of your interest. You can send assignments to the student community; and so on.
4. How can both teachers and students take advantage of blogs as learning environments?
Like I said before, once you find a blog of your interest, you can post questions, answer questions, share experiences, look for ways to improve your learning styles or your teaching techniques, and so on.
How would you use a blog?
I'll probably use it as a place where the students can look for the required information for my course, or as a place to post questions so that I can answer them.

1. Some of the impediments of using a blog is that if you do not have the proper resources you cannot use them as much as you would like to take advantage of it 100%.
2. I personaly do not like the internet as much but I believe it is a helpful source to share information and get opinions from everyone all over the world.
3.The opportunities that blogs provide for teachers and students are that they can have communication outside the school walls which can create a more communicative atmosphere in the class. Theachers can help their students if they have any doubts and the students feel more comfortable and sure of their work.
4.They take advantages from blogs as learning environment because as I said before you post your ideas and people comment about them and that helps both sides.
5.I would use it strictly for informatin that I need or to get ideas about a certain topic.
teachrs and students take advantage in different learning environments and view one topic from different perspectives,(hermeneutics, which is actually what takes us to "the poewer of thought"
1. Some of the impediments could be the availability of internet service to students, whether at home or at school. Another thing is the access that teachers have to the service to create the blog. The speed of the service is also important, since we don't have that much time during our class periods to invest in it.
2. I still don't understand them that well, but with a little practice everything is possible. I really have a thing with technology, so I guess it's all a matter of time.
3. Its a way of giving your students extra practice in an environment outside the classroom. It allows teachers to extend their classes and give students the opportunity to catch up with any content left behind. It also helps to student independence since they know they can find help in the blog.
4. As I said before, it allows for extra practice, content updates. Students can post comments or doubts they didn't ask in class because of any number of reasons. Student-teacher communication can be enhanced.
5. Honestly, I still have no idea. However, something that pops into my mind right now is to post pages linked to my content where they can obtain extra exercises for practice, information concerning a topic, or information related to the class.

Students get use with the use of thecnology. Teachers too... There is not waist of paper.
Opportunities provided by blogs:
Teachers: Having more ideas to teach your class and also getting extra information to do so. Its nice to have different activities during one period of class and you can get those activities from blogs.
Students: They can get more information and get more involved in the topic. Some times teachers just give what the book has, so this would help them to get more information and ideas about a topic.
teachers and students take advantage in different learning environments and view one topic from different perspectives,(hermeneutics), which is actually what takes us to "the power of thought"
We can read differents opinions about the same topic... Everyone has the right to express any idea
1. I think that one of the impediments for using a blog is that many people don't know enough about technology, so there is a barrier that don't let them use this kind of things.
2. I think that blogs are useful tools for teachers, because there we can find lots of information about new things and ideas that people from other places can share with us.
3. One of the opportunities could be that not only the teachers but also the students can communicate with people from other places, so we can learn new things, know new people and share about things we know.
1. There are some impediments like:
* There must be an internet connection, and sometimes this might be not work correctly.
* There can be some persons that are not really compromised with the specific area the blog is using.
2. Blogs are good to comunicate or interact with other persons that are in your same working area. There can be good ideas and suggestions to work with students.
3. Blogs can give you the opportunity to share comments, activities and integrate technology in the classroom, which will motivate students in learning and interact at the same time with other persons and with the content.
4. Interacting and getting into blogs is a good way to apply knowledge, comments and conclusions out of the classroom. It is a good way to motivate students to use their critical thinking in different moments.
5. I would use blogs to motivate my students in using the English in different activities out of the classroom and at the same time to interact with othre persons.
1.There is any computer lab available.
2.It is very interesting and helpful.
3.Share information and learn more about any topic.
4.Teachers and students can take
advantage getting more information from diffrent sources.
5.I will use blog when I finish one lesson.
I woud use in literature while or after reading a book. If the first one to promote an active reading. If the second one to comment and also to evaluate reading comprehension.
I would use a blog whenever I had the chance to teach my students a new hard topic. I would set up a story or a poem related to the topic and then share it with them, I think that this way students would get interested and maybe try to get more information about it.
-What opportunities do blogs provide for teachers and students?
For teachers it provide new updated information, a good way of cheeking students progress and by this media you can know your students needs and comments and for students is an easier way of posting their assigments and some basic information to work better in class.
How can both teachers and students take advantage of blogs as learning environments?
If they both use blogs in the correct way they will have good commnunication and they would feel more comfortable about their comments, questions and suggestions.
How would you use a blog?
I would use it to download assigments and also to teach new topics (e.g. to post videos or songs, useful for class).
Answers:
1. I think some impediments are don't want it or don't have internet at home. For the Ss, the information made by other can use it only changed the name, or don't have internet.
2. I think that is good for teachers and older girls, but for little ones requieres a lot of time because they don't use the computer as fast as necessary.
3. I think it is an opportunity to know how improve my classes and personal knowledge.
4. Probably for first and second graders check examples, or take them as examples to do something in class.
5. First I would like to know more about that, but I think I'll use it in Writing and Conversation Class.
2.It is a time saver in class and if the all students have access to tech devices and Internet, group work could be done efficiently and with no problems.
3.Some opportunities could be that both can share information and that students can have more fun and will be more motivated.
4.Reasearches can be done inmediately using blogs and the teacher can check them in the moment.Then the students will get their grades as fast as they like.
