Using BLOGS in the Classroom

Blogs provide a communication space that teachers and students can use to develop writing, share ideas or reflect on work. They also provide links to Websites, other blogs, new articles or even pictures. A space where a lot of resources can be included and where some skills can be developed out of the classroom. However, it depends on their objective blogs can be an excellent tool with high educational benefits.
As far as I am concerned, using blogs in the classroom is also a great tool to assess students.Using them as a Students Portfolio help not only teachers but students as well. Blogs present, organize, and protect student work as digital portfolios. As older entries are archived, developing skills and progress can be individually analyzed . Additionally, students make an effort when publishing, so they are more motivated to produce better writing.
