After setting up this blog and knowing how easy it really was, I have found many insights on how to make blogs a success within the classroom. The Edublog Insights by Anne Davis gives great examples of how blogs can be useful for students and for the teacher. Not only will the blogs give into the student's interests within technology, they also educate them into being diverse within different teaching strategies. The student's blogs would be a great tool to keep their interests within literature groups, different journal entries (that will also make it pretty easy to grade), and to interact with the other students in the class if they have questions. The only challenge would be to ensure that every student has access to a computer. But, if applicable, this would be a great activity and opportunity for teachers to engage with their students.
