Ariana Huffington, a now world famous author/blogger has made a name for herself via her blog The Huffington Post. So what can blogging do for you or me? Well, a lot! For one, it is very possible that a blog is your favorite news source for movies, clothing, sports, etc. Perhaps blogging has become a hobby or means of keeping in touch with friends and loved one from far away. Blogs are immensely useful and relatively easy to use.
One obvious and growing purpose for the world of blogging is its educational malleability. Teachers and students alike can use blogs for everything for discussion groups, homework, research, all the way through to having a paperless classroom (a more popular goal in today's green conscious world). In my teaching experience I have found many places to make a blogging a tool in the classroom. In the coming school year I hope to set every student up with a blog and have them submit questions and assignments through it.
