Learning and Blogs

In my opinion, if blogs are thoughtfully designed and content-based they can be an excellent teaching tool for students of any age. For students who are able to read, blogs can be a particularly engaging method for sharing content. With the addition of graphics, blogs can support visual literacy as well as learning based on reading comprehension. However, some school districts may have policies against the use of blogs. It may be necessary to present a blog prototype in order to convince administrators of the educational value and flexibility of blogs.
