Blogging
I think that blogging in the classroom is a very cool concept. After reading Andrew Olmsteds blog I saw blogging in a whole new way. I found it very interesting to read about Andrew’s daily updates from his own words. I think that using blogging in class is a great way for the professors to get to know each student in a very unique way. Many teachers go through an entire semester only being able to base the type of person each student is on their interactions in the classroom and the content of their work. But, I feel that blogging will help the teachers to see a whole new side to each student. No longer will each student be similar. Blogging will help individualize each member of the classroom. I am very excited to start my own blog.

Hi Lisa. You make a very good point here about how the blogs allow the teacher to get to know you individually. Of course, that depends on what people choose to put in their blogs, but even just as far as knowing their writing ability, I think I learn more from a blog than I do from a paper. It's not an efficient way to teach though, as it's time-consuming to read everybody's blog on a regular basis, but I enjoy it. I always want to write back, but then that takes even more time!
