Blogging is everywhere in today's society, it interests kids, applys to their daily lives, and is a skill that they will continue to use in their future. So, why shouldn't we teach how to blog and the proper way to do so in an educational or professional setting. Blogging also provides students with the chance to communicate with students from all over the world and share ideas with them. It actually could open up the opportunity for collaberative projects and individual creativity. The major drawback that may arise is student access to computers and the internest both at school and at home. If this can be provided then blogging would be an excellent eduactional tool.
