List your ideas for using blogs in the classroom here:

1. Create learning journals
2. Replace discussion boards with blogs and comments (those questions that don't promote discussion
3. Reflective learning... what a fabulous and simple way for students to reflect on their learning and comment back to each other and myself
4. Share life events and photos with family and friends at a distance.
5. Students could blog about their school day so parents don't encounter, "Nothing" as a answer when asked what they did at school that day.
