In the article I read, the author explores both the benefits and the downfalls to blogging in a classroom. Most students he interviewed say they enjoy blogging and that it helps them learn in different ways. By the end of the article, after discussing the ins and outs of blogging and how it could be detrimental to an education, the author claims that he is in favor of blogging, stating that "it brings life to learning".
In the future, blogging may become very prevalent in the education system. It is already beginning to take a place in the classroom, especially with older students, and as it becomes more popular outside the classroom, it will quickly gain popularity inside it as well. As a teacher, I would hope to be able to use the Internet and blogging as a supplement to what I was already teaching and as a tool to help the students better understand the material.
Additional research could be helpful to fully understand whether the use of blogs in the classroom would be beneficial or detrimental to a student's education.

Great post! In my article as well I researched that blogging is becoming more popular and beneficial in education. The recent popularity is due to the students ability to become more interactive with one another and the teacher. It benefits the teacher because it give he or she the ability to have a higher scaled conversation with their students about the topics on hand. This post was very good and listed great points in the positives and negatives.
