I don't know what i think yet because i have never used one much. I can see how this can be a good thing for school setting if its done right. After reading the book i can see how blogs can better a class by giving them more info than what can be covered in class. Its a useful way to teach technology in a non tech class as well. Its also useful because the info is there at all times for the students to look at and respond to. I don't see it as a waste of time as long as its a benefit to the students and there understanding of the class. It may even be benefit of there time and learning if the blog is structured right.

I really like the idea of having extra info in a blog for students to look at. You can create it so that its kinda like are ecollege. I wish we had something like that back in high school. I'm a bad at taken notes, so having power points and extra info online is a great thing for me and I'm sure I'm not alone.
