Blogs As Teaching Tools

Blogs are the new ways to communicate, exchange information, and share ideas and opinions to people abroad. As a teacher, I would use blogging in various ways. Students could blog a daily journal of things learned in the classroom. They could blog their favorite subject for the day and tell why. Students can also use blogging as a way to communicate their problems and/or opinions to me. I think students would be bored and unwilling to write each and every day, so giving them the opportunity to blog not only encourages them to get familiar and comfortable with computers, but it also makes them become really interested in what topic they blog about. Especially once they realize anyone can read it!
