Blog's for Professional Purposes

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.
