Blogging the classroom

I think classroom blogging is an exceptional idea to implement the use of technology in education. Blogs can be used for multiple reasons like discussing and sharing information about class topics. Blogging would be beneficial because it won't exactly feel like "homework" for the students. As we all know, teenagers today spend enormous hours on their home computers chatting, blogging, and instant messaging so we need to involve education more into their "computer" lives.
Furthermore, blogging can prove to be a useful tool for teacher to communicate with student. We can post assignments and even recieve replies from the postings. Overall, it might prove to be a more effective way to reach our students, while participating with a more "green" attitude.
