Creating
or participating in a blog gives students the opportunity to discuss
assignments or issues relating to class outside of the classroom. Students who
do not regularly participate in classroom discussions are able to share their
thought in confidence. Active engagement is important in class and this is a
great way to enforce participation without singling out students.
