Blogging benefits grammar, encourages out of class learning, and is interesting to do. I know I have to look some blogging words up if I do not know how to spell them. I like the fact that things you have looked up on the internet for fun can be easily shared.
Some concerns I have about students blogging are cyberbullying and internet predators. The latter only really becomes dangerous when one puts up too much personal information on the internet. I think blogging would have to be carefully monitored.This history teacher's blog the link is here is a good example of how to keep a blog suited to a certain purpose; this could be like keeping the blog template simple when the point of the blog is written work or opinions. This example could help students not to overload their blogs with too much imagery and help them add links to websites.
