Blogs in the Classroom

The use of Blogs in the classroom can be a creative opportunity for all users of the classroom.  Assignments can be posted in the beginning of the week, and allow students an open time frame as to when to complete assignments.  I like the idea of hyperlinks with inclusions of websites and videos as well!  Blogs provide opportunities for discussion on a topic just like in the classroom, only online.  As teachers post hyperlinks, students can reflect and share opinions from these links.  Although it is not the same process as an in-class learning environment, online and technological skills can translate to other educational internet Blogs.
