I believe Blogger can be a very useful tool within the classroom not just for myself, but also for students. I can use it as a way to keep my students up to date with upcoming assignments, notes from the day in class, and important dates to keep in mind such as due dates. My students can use it as a way to learn more about blogging and online writing as opposed to always writing papers. It can also be used as a daily journal type of assignment for students to use as a sort of "quick write" assignment to keep information in their head and to let me know if everything is getting across alright. Technology is becoming so vital in our society that I believe it is imperative to begin teaching students the different formats of academic technology, and a blog can really be a great tool for them to learn how to utilize.
