Blogging is a strategy that is becoming more widespread throughout the education field. I like that it allows students to publish their opinions and thoughts and take ownership of them. It is an easy way for them to ask questions and voice concerns and for me as the educator to see and reply to them. Blogging will also allow students to help other students and take ownership of their own education. An important factor in having students become responsible.
The most attractive part of blogging is the excitement that students are already showing towards using it. In mentioning to my class that we would be starting a class blog, they were excited, and can wait to get started. Finding things that students enjoy in education can be a difficult task. I for one believe that if you can make education fun then students will learn better.
