In response to Dean Shareski's article

After reading "Student and Teacher Blogging that Succeeds" I found it very interesting. I think that all the points there were raised within the article are very prevalent and understanding. Blogging does need just as much time with writing the posts as it does with reading the posts. Also relating to how students make friends and do things in real life to their blogs is a good way to get students to understand exactly what blogging is, and how it is beneficial to each person that blogs. Dressing up the blogs and adding each owns personal flare really allows the students to connect with that they are writing and reading and feel positive about that they are doing in the blogging world. I think that teachers are doing a great thing with introducing blogs into the classroom. At the higher elementary ages I think it would be important for homework assignments, sending messages, group projects, all connected over the blogs. As many people in the world have blogs, why not bring the classroom into it as well. This article should be read by all teachers and those who want to become teachers in order for them to understand what and how blogging will be the most beneficial to the students within the classroom, and also in their future education.
