Blogging can be beneficial to the educator in in two main areas: communicating with other professionals and interacting with students.
Blogging allows for the sharing of ideas, strategies, and information among a group of educators. Teachers can pose questions, submit responses, and discuss notions in a group format. In a sense, it's brainstorming beyond your locality.
Both students and teachers can benefit from a classroom or course blog. Again, students can post questions. Educators can benefit from this means of communication --especially if it's on a daily basis. Teacher's can see where weaknesses in presentations may lie and they can also assist students online. Students can also assist other students by responding to a classroom blog.

Your blog is so bright and colorful. I really like your formatting, it makes me want to read more.
I think you bring up some great educational attributes that blogging has to offer both teachers and students. I agree that it is a great way for educators to communicate. I also like your point about students being able to better assist each other. I think students can learn so much by helping each other.
I look forward to blogging with you.

Hi Michelle! Your blog is fantastic, I love the colors. I completely agree with you that blogs can be useful for both teachers and students. Students are able to be so interactive with one another when using computers this way (and they love it). I think it's an effective tool for group work.
