Personal Blog

This document discusses the pros and cons of using personal/classroom blogs as an instructional tool. The pros are that blogs allow teachers to share ideas with students outside of class, bridge home and school learning, and foster critical thinking skills. However, the cons are that students may not actively participate, blogs contain private student information and could include fictional content, alternate personalities, or lack consequences for misspellings/poor grammar.
