In the sample blogs posted on "Thing #4", I found that writing in general was about school blogging and what a useful tool it can turn into. It is not just a lot of nonsense words, it actually shares opinions that can grow learning in many different genres. Students, teachers and people around the world can learn from each other and share their thoughts on a interactive environment. Students can get more engaged in learning and writing at higher thinking levels because it shares real life themes and situations that people who is reading it might be coping with. It is different from another writings because it engages the public with oncoming and going interactive responses from each other which might be renewed every certain time. Blogging in a classroom can facilitate learning by discovering what teachers and students really want and need to learn.
Which, if any, of the linked example blogs did you like? Did you find any of them useful to the classroom?
