It gives students and teachers an outlet for their infomration and ideas, it also acts as a repository for classroom information, giving a common place for information regarding a class or topic. Blogs are also self archiving, so you build long term resources for future classes or students that are time and date stamped. Imagine a current events class that has students reflecting on current events and liking to resources, over time you have a hudge archive of events. Students become part of a historical archive.<BR/><BR/>Some disadvantages are that, in some forms, a blog can exponetially add work to student and teachers. It opens students work to the world and could potentially bring undesired attention, however, much of this can be controlled. There aren't many disadvantages, it mostly depends on how it is structured in a classroom.<BR/><BR/>-JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18042907.post-29463022546583887802008-07-15T10:46:00.000-05:002008-07-15T10:46:00.000-05:00Blogging seems to be another method of written com...Blogging seems to be another method of written communication.
