Class Blog

Having a class blog is a good way to keep students involved in class discussion, as well as extend conversations from class time. It will also allow the students who are not as outspoken in class to voice their opinions and recieve comments to begin a dialogue which we can all learn from. Having a blog is good for people like me who sometimes have trouble find the right words when put on the spot. It will give people time to say exactly what they mean and find ways to back it up through the internet by posting links and what not. Also, controversial blogs will inspire conversation and make for great dialogue, and simply replying to posts in dissagreement will have the same effect more or less.

You thought about some stuff I def. didn't think of. I see the purpose of blogging already! Sometimes when I am trying to say something in class I'm not really sure where I'm going till I'm done saying it. And I often end somewhere I totally didn't intend, so your right. This will be a good way to communicate my own ideas more fluently

I completely agree. When I get put on the spot I usually blank out and can't find the right words to express what it is I am trying to say. Atleast with a blog we'll have more time to think about what we are saying.
