Educational Blogging in the United States


Here is the link to an article of the benefits of using blogging in the classroom. I thought it was interesting. The writer supports the use of blogs saying "BLOGGING CAN INVITE STUDENTS TO NATURALLY EVALUATE THEIR OWN WORK AND THE WORK OF THEIR PEERS." I agree with this statement. I believe that students are interested in reading the imput of their peers. Reading the writing of classmates makes it more fun & interesting.Podcasting in the Classroom

Here is an article in which an avid blogger, Will Richardson, expresses his views on the benefits and outcomes of using blogging in the classroom. He has even used educational blogging in his classroom & has observed its positive influence.
