Blogging is helpful to schools because it makes it much easier for a teacher to connect with a student and get a better understanding and find more interesting ways for to expand in their education skills. Blogging gives students a chance to have voice. In alot of schools and classes students are not enthuzed about speaking,reading,answering/asking questions in class.With a blog students expand their thoughts ,critque their writing ,and share what they blogged with the class,with having to speak when they dont want to .Blogging lets the teacher find out who his/hers students really are ,because of blogging students are not afraid to say what they want because when you blog its like writing in a journal or updating your status on facebook and myspace you can waht you want when you want and how you want as long as its appropriate.
