Blogging Benefits

Blogging is a way for students to publish on the Internet. This helps motivate students to do their best work since anyone will be able to see it. Students can also post blogs even if they are unable to come to school. Blogging can also be done without paper. Teachers are able to comment on students' blogs and give immediate feedback.

Blogging is a way to tell anyone what you are doing, and to find out what others are doing. Blogging is different from email since it is up to others to read your blog, you don't have to know their email address! By subscribing to blogs of those who share their latest discoveries one can learn better ways to do ones work.

I agree with you that blogging motivates students to do their best work "since anyone will be able to see it." Students quickly learn the importance of spell check when posting to the world!

Even though I have not figured out RSS, the bloglist on blogger is a lot of fun. Instead of clicking on each link to see a new post, the date of the last post is available on your blog!

That's a good point that the blog readers have to come to you! Perhaps it would be a good idea to email a link to your blog to the teachers and administrators in your school as well as the parents of the children. Public libraries have been dealing with it for years- marketing!
