Nickersons Thoughts Thing #3

I think that a Blog could be a very useful tool in the classroom, using History as an example, after the teacher is finished with a specific chapter or lesson, the students could then Blog about what they think was the catalyst of a specific moment in history, or about possibly how the student might have retained all the information for the test, so other students might try their technique. This blog might help students that are too afraid or embarrased to approach the teacher if they are having problems in the classroom, get help from friends. I think that as a teacher if you were lucky enough to have a room full of computers you could have students at the beginning of class Blog about the question of the day, and save paper, plus the teacher would be able to give credit for completion of the blogs.
