Why should use blogs in teaching learning process

As an educational tool, blogs may be integrated in a multi-faceted manner to accommodate all learners. Blogging encourages students to read and write, regardless of the subject matter. Educators are finding that blogs can be an excellent tool to promote literacy and writing skills. Blogging can also increase student involvement because it uses a medium student’s find engaging and comfortable. In addition, blogs can serve as a classroom management tool, for collaboration among peers, and as part of student portfolios.

Set up your class for free without the need for student email addresses and no pop up ads. Students publish posts and participate in classroom discussions within a secure blogging community. Teachers can maintain complete control over student blogs and user accounts. It’s a great way to introduce blogging to younger students so that they can learn about how to be digital citizens as they get older.

This is the best way to expose our teachers to the latest and greatest collaborative environment of blogging is to show them how blogs can benefit them personally with a hands-on professional development opportunity. I want my fellow educators to see up close and personal that creating a blog and populating it with information to share is as easy as Word processing.
