The power of blogging comes from the conversation threads that can be carried on within them. Few teachers, though, give their students time to read, reflect, or to leave comments during class—or even as homework on other's blogs. Yet those comments, either made by classmates or by others, can deepen learning and understanding.

Anne BubnicFrom Jeff Blogs are not about writing, they are about a conversation. I have seen teachers give students a class assignment on their blog to write answers to questions or their thoughts on an issue, yet those thoughts, those conversations, are not brought back into the classroom to enhance the exchance of information and debate within.

Dale DowningThere is a problem with blogs in the classroom—a problem that has many educators looking at blogging and not understanding why one would want to blog, how it benefits students, or how it engages them in the learning process.

We are still trying to fit 21st-century conversations into 20th-century instruction without changing our pedagogy or recognizing the fact that the audience makes the difference. And that, my friends, is the problem with blogs. Thanks for the conversation!
-
When blogs are viewed as vehicles for dialogue, they bring a completely new meaning to the term blogging. They are no longer journal assignments; they are thoughtful discussions that extend well after a lesson ends.
-
So really, there isn't a problem with blogs. The problem lies in how we utilize the power of the conversations that they create to engage students in the learning process.

Blogs are not about writing, they are about a conversation.
-
When we blog, whether in or out of school, communication encourages debate in many venues. It might happen at a staff meeting, in the classroom, or even over dinner. Once you start to blog and that information/thought/conversation becomes public, it begins to take on a life of its own, moving in multiple directions, thus creating a ripple effect of continual learning.
