After sampling several blogs I realize they are as varying as individuals are, as creative as anyone cares to be, and as subject-specific as anyone has thoughts to share. The fact that blogs publish in a world-wide arena, and invite comments from world-wide readers, makes blogs an incredibly interactive tool and source of shared thought.
"How refreshing was the insight by on education's age-old quandary, to give homework or not. How paradigm-shifting was allowing blog-reading in SSR time, which introduces the idea of students having the choice to read blogs not just books at SSR time. How solid and convincing are the 13 reasons blogging is educationally sound for students in our time."
Blogging by its nature has students taking initiative to shape and express their own thoughts, to use their own voice in expressing thoughts, and to invite and evaluate others' thoughts. All these have built-in personal growth and ownership of learning in the blogging process. I understand and appreciate the value of blogging as never before.
