Using Blogs in Education

I believe that blogs can be used in numerous ways in education. Blogs that have a specific purpose, such as a class blog, provide an outlet for reflecting on various topics and a way to share ideas. Blogs can be a common place to link other websites and resources that are related to the purpose of the blog that followers and contributors of the blog will have access to. Using this blog throughout the semester will provide practice setting a blog and including appropriate information. My goal is to take the skills I learn blogging for class and create a blog that can be used by students and parents access useful learning resources and hopefully enhance their learning experience.
