I believe that blogging is a useful tool that lets students be creative, connect with the world of technology, and learn to comment and post on a blog. Doing this will help students with their comprehension skills, while they are learning to criticize their peers. With this, it is easier to learn how to comment and post knowing that there is a wider audience reading what you have written.
The negative effects are that, some students may find it easier to slack off and not do their homework thinking that their teacher won't find out, but in reality, it is easier to know if you did it or not. Also, it is easier to get sidetracked because you still are on the internet, meaning that there are ads and Facebook and everything out there to distract a student from their work.
After all of this, I still believe that blogging is very useful and we should still use it, but with some rules and regulations. If not, then we will have half the class with unfinished work still waiting to be done.
