My Reflection on the first day of introducing the blog

The first time when I planned to introduce the idea of blog to my class. I was really worried that they will be able to do it or not. Surprisingly, though the idea was new to them but they got very excited and some of them were so anxious to get themselves publish on the net that they made a blog in the same class. To attract the girls I told them that they even can talk and gossip on blogs. They agreed to give it a try. Surprisingly, I noticed that because I took it for granted that they all know how to use atleast Ms-word ,came up with the problem of not even knowing the basics. I got worried that why is it so . Because last year only we have covered this topic. This was very frustrating. The reason for this ignorance was that they never bothered what ever is being taught to them because they think that they have to learn only when they are rewarded with marks. In this condition only those students take interest who are actually interested in computers.
I hope working on blogs will takes up their interest and will motivate them to learn and explore more.
