Blogs in the classroom!

There are many different uses for blogs in the classroom. for one teachers could have their students keep a blog to publish their homework and writing assignments. this would be very beneficial because it will help students write to more than one audience (rather than just the teacher). Another way teachers can incorporate blogs into the classroom is by having students keep a daily blog on their class readings. This will help the teacher confirm who is doing the readings and who is not with out having to discus the reading in harsh detail in class. Although blogs can be very useful for teachers and students they can become a disadvantage. When writing a blog pretty much anyone can read the child's thoughts. This can make them feel less secure about their work because they know anyone can read and judge their work.
