So Why Have a Blog?

I've read and seen lots about the value of having a blog, but wonder what you think now that you've been keeping one this year. Here are some questions to consider when you reply:

• What are the advantages of having a blog?
• What were some of your favorite blog posts that you wrote this year and why?
• Which blog post of yours got the most replies, and why do you think this happened?
• Do you think it is a good idea for people outside of your class to read your blog and comment? Why or why not?
• What recommendations would you give to teachers who are considering having their students keep a blog?

I found this image on Twitter today in which an educator offers his idea about blogging. You don't have to agree, but wanted to post it as one person's interpretation of blogging.
