Why Blog?
Why do I make my students to blog? Why should you blog?
Here is why:
- It is easy! (Up and running in less that 10 minutes)
- It is fun and informative. (Publish your thoughts and see what other people think)
- It is safe. (You decide what content is published. You can also decided who can comment on your posts or who sees your post)
- It promotes communication. (You can express your feeling much easier in front of a computer than in front of a group of people)
- Everybody else is doing it. (70 million blogs as of last July according to the Blog Herald)
If these reasons are not enough, take a look at this video I found over on Wes Fryers site “Moving at the Speed of Creativity”. He has put together an awesome example of what people are doing with blogs in regards to education. I will warn you that the file is large, (32 mb) so make sure you have a fast connection.
