Class Blog Possibilities

Blogs have many possibilities for classes today; this is due to the Internet becoming so accessible to most everyone.  A blog allows the classroom to follow people anywhere the Internet is available.  The ability and easy to have discussions and to collaborate make the blog an invaluable tool for countless teachers.  Students are also put in a position that they can mentor each other and help other students grasp the content of lessons.  I personally like the idea that a teacher can open up a discussion and oversee it take place and be as involved as needed or not.  The effectiveness of being able to take and post the notes or directions from a lesson in class online for students to access and use all in one spot where they can have links to other resources is a great learning tool.  The added capacity to take and have discussions between students gives them all the needed tools to learn the material being presented.  The ease of use is the other big point to why a blog could have big possibilities in a classroom.
