Response to Blogging Question...

I see blogs as a way for friends and families to keep up with each other or for people to make online diaries. I am not sure how useful blogs would be in education to be quite honest. Maybe they could be used to post homework assignments?? Or if the teacher has to miss a class he or she could post information to the class on his or her blog? Other than these remote reasons I can honestly see no use for blogs in education. I’m open for ideas on the subject…
