My principal has had a blog for some time now and has always been a big proponent of blogging, but I have never really gotten in to it. I suspect the two main reasons are as a scientist I tend to encourage writing related to lab write ups and haven't really found blogging the best way to respond to labs. The second reason is since currently some of our students do not have access to computers within 1:1 it's difficult to assign a project requiring blogging if they don't have a computer.
I suppose both of those reasons could be evaluated and solutions and arguments for using blogging could be made. It is for certain that next year when all my students will have a computer or iPad the lack of access would be gone along with that excuse. I would be interested to see what some of you might think about using blogging for lab write ups. In particular are there any science teachers out there that are using blogs for this purpose?
Thanks for any insight:)
