Edublogs are fantastic learning tools for your students. Learning about and writing an Edublog is one of the most useful Web 2.0 skills I've learned.
Edublogs are an engaging way to involve students in class materials. They can be used either in class to support the lesson plan or used as an extension of learning, where students can log on the edublog outside of class and leave their comments. The interactive aspect of edublogs is the most attractive part of them. These blogs can include questions to respond to... and your students can leave comments on each page. Their comments can lead to other students commenting... and expanding on what the other student began. The blogs also give quieter students or students that take longer to respond a chance to have their voice heard.
Disadvantages... not all schools or even students have ready access to internet. It may be difficult to incorporate edublogs into a school that lacks the technology necessary.
This is my blog... have a look! my Grade 5 blog
Ken, your EduBlog looks great. I really like the videos and games that you included.
