In the article "
20 reasons why students should Blog", many excellent reasons were given for including blogging in our lesson plans for our students. After reading this article, you will be convinced that blogging is NOT a waste of time. All the components of teaching a well planned lesson are included while using and writing in a blog. Make sure you connect to the blog that the 9 year old girl made her own list of reasons students should blog. Her list includes cute, genuine, and authentic ideas as to why students would benefit from blogging.
I don't think it is a waste of time either. However, there are some 'growing pains' associated with learning how to effectively use blogs. I think it is well worth it.
