Blogs are a great way of not only sharing news with others but finding out great information on the type of ‘news’ you are interested in- Boys blogging books is a good example of this. As for blogs in the classroom I think they could be used brilliantly for any task that requires journaling. Many subjects use journals as an assessment task for a major project, a blog would allow students to do the same thing yet have the ability to add pictures, links etc. to their entries. A blog type journal would also make it easier to share the assessment task process with other students in the class.
This style of blog use in the classroom could be very successful, however, some of the example blogs in module 2 are not very interactive. Many use the blog for setting and handing up homework which seems to defeat the purpose of a blog.
