Blogging: Educational Benefits

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the expectations of what you now need to provide your students? 
Feel like there is no time to build a strong rapport with the community while offering a rich 21st-century curriculum? 
Blogging might help you in more ways than you could imagine.


Blogs offer many benefits for education:
·         Promotes autonomous learning by providing opportunities for students to take more control of their learning
·         Motivates students to become better readers and writers.
·         Promotes discussion among students.
·         Encourages the use of the Internet and the Web among students (and teachers)
A blog provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate critical thinking skills and to employ language and writing principles that demonstrate analytical thought and comprehension. Blogs also give students a platform from which creative risks can be taken.
