Some educators believe blogs are simple journals which the world can see. However, I disagree! Blogs are interactive and can encourage students to write and express their feelings. Many studies have shown that students do better work if they know other people will have access to it. Throughout the semester I have listened to countless podcasts about the benefits of blogs. If educators are uncertain about blogs, I would encourage them to listen to KidCast podcast by Dan Schmidt and navigate to episodes about podcasting in the classroom.
