How to use a blog for classroom purposes

1. Easy way to continue the learning experience outside of classroom.
2. Give research assignments that students can share 
3. Saves classroom time 
4. Can be used as extra credit or a way of refreshing students mind of the subject/ topic
5. Saved trees by sharing articles and other information electronically
6. Teachers can read every students perspective on a topic because a blog allows them to express their opinion more in depth or longer than they would in a classroom. 
7. Advertising assignments or college level blog experiments

The Program keeps track of your view, comments, stats and pages
