Blog 應用在教學上

Why Use Blogs in the Classroom?
There are many reasons to use blogs in the classroom. The best reasons are that blogs are easy to edit, easy to share ideas and resources, and most of all they provide an audience for your student's writing where the audience is willing to share back their thoughts about the student ideas. Blogging provides a real audience, not just the instructor or classmates. An audience for a blog may include their parents, their peers, students and adults from other states or from around the world. Taken from Blogging for ELT
Fernette and Brock Eide's research (Brain of a Blogger) shows that bogs can:
Promote critical and analytical thinking
Be a powerful promoter of creative, intuitive, and associational thinking
Promote analogical thinking
Be a powerful medium for increasing access and exposure to quality information
Combine the best of solitary reflection and social interaction.
