Before this class I had heard of blogs and have had some experience with the personal blogs of friends, but had not really given any thought to how they could be used in my classes. I can now see many ways to use weblogs in a school setting including as a digital portfolio, a collaborative space, and using the space as a reference for students and teachers to post examples and information that can then be used by the rest of the class. I really like the third option mentioned here because I can see this being a very beneficial addition to my math classes. If there is a concept the students are trying to master I think it would be very helpful if they were required to work together through the use of a blog to obtain this mastery. In going through the process of actually setting up my own blog and then posting back and forth with others I realize that a blog can be easily used for much more than just personal writing.
