Previously, I thought about blogging as a personal journal that people could use to put their inner most thoughts and feelings online, and my thought was - WHY would someone DO THAT?
BUT, I started a graduate program last fall working towards my Master's of Education, and every class so far has had keeping a blog as its main form of communication (its an online program). As a result, my feelings of blogging has changed drastically. I can now see the benefit of blogging in the classroom, and I have found myself enjoying the act of it. Read my class blog here.
I am a written expressive, so this gives me an opportunity to express my thoughts in writing (and be able to edit myself before others receive the communication!). I'm also a visual person, so I can include photos and video's to get my thoughts across. And (BONUS) this format allows more leeway for sentence fragments and other less formalities.
Here's some reasons why students should blog.
