First grade students in Atlanta are already blogging. They are learning how to post, comment on older student work, learn how to pronouns, and even type words by blogging.

In my opinion blogs/blogging is more beneficial to teachers because blogs provide teachers with an easy access online format to create and post new strategies to other teacher for their opinion (peer editing). Also teachers are able to give home work and introduce new topics to student so that they can be aware of the upcoming lesson. Using blogs teachers can review important class points, and give student a wide variety of links for students to review for test, quizzes, finals, and even regents. This is a quote from a loving mother which happens to be a teacher "Blogging has given my six and seven-year olds a window to the world. They see themselves as part of a global community-a community that shares. This international audience gives my students a purpose and they are motivated to do their best writing on their blog. Kathy Cassidy". As you can see this quote shows the true meaning of blogging in a teacher point of view.
Blogging in schools help students to "think and write more critically", says an Australian researcher "and can help draw out people who would otherwise not engage in debate". Blogging in school developed an educational social network for them to developed skills for the 21 century. Blogging helps student communicate outside the boundaries of the classroom and the institution, and they like that. These web-based forums for discussing ideas, experiences or opinions allow students to discuss publicly what they are studying with other students and experts outside their own university. Blogging also increases student’s motivation for reading. Students will happily spend a lot of time browsing through fellow student posts because to them it is interesting. Also students prefer to read other student work. Mainly the once they know compare to a teacher they barely know. Many have linked their friends onto their blog roll for quick access. Many make comments, often in their own language.
Blogging is beneficial to education, It is helpful to schools, and Using blogging in schools help teachers and students. In my opinion blogging makes the world easier for teacher, students, and local people.
