Value of blogs in education

If you are wondering if blogs have any value in your classroom, read Stephen Downes's posting on Blogs in Education (April 2009): http://halfanhour.blogspot.com/2009/04/blogs-in-education.html. It provides an overview of some of the uses as well has benefits for students.

Another article to review is Anne Davis's Rationale for Educational Blogging (EduBlog Insights, 2007): http://anne.teachesme.com/2007/01/17/rationale-for-educational-blogging/.
