3. all you need to do is to write a post on the blogging program you are using. When you POST what you have written, your writing is then free for orthers to view and comment on. This is BLOGGING
4. blogging is a creative and exciting way to engage people into online conversations. They can easily comment and reflect on your posts
5. be careful: some information mentioned in blogs, can be incorrect and biased!
6. who knows where blogging will end up? Technology improves every day and so will the use of blogs
7. For students to use blogs, mean that they can learn from each other and reflect on their learning when writing a post. If the students then comment on other students' posts, they can then show some insight on what they have learned.
I agree with you Riandi that blogging is a new and exciting tool. I can't wait to use it within my classroom. The students, teachers and even parents can have fun with this new-ish form of technology.
