Blogging

I can see the benefits of blogging as students can reflect, analyze or evaluate what they have learned. Other possibilities I can see are discussions about assignments from students to one another. What better way to extend a lesson by having students tell others what they have learned? Closure to a lesson is just as important as an introduction. That being said, a teacher could introduce a topic on a blog for students to research and comment on to gather their knowledge about the subject, which would be a good formative assessment.
