If I discover a difficulty or problem, I can talk with that individual to find ways to help him or her.</p><br/><p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">I can determine how the class is progressing by looking for a growth in their comments. Are they seeing the “big picture” of the professional development? Can they apply it?</p><br/><p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">People can go back to their earlier blogs and see what they thought at the beginning of blog and then see what they think about the topic at the end of the professional development.</p><br/><p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">I believe that the class moves at a fast pace because the blog conversations do not continue forever as some live conversations tend to.</p><br/><p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">Also, blogs can be used to distribute common word processing documents such a form that you all will work on during the professional development.</p><br/><p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">During one session we had seven blogging times and some one commented how they had enjoyed the discussions. We had only one short spoken conversation but seven purposeful blog conversations.</p><br/><p style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">&nbsp;</p><br/><p style="margin-bottom:
