In just using a blog, I can see the benefits a teacher could have in a classroom. Number one, the program seems to be free. No cost to the school or students. A blog is an instant access website that students can use to create forums, post assignments, share reflections, and the list seems to go on. Some of the shortfalls may include students who do not have access to computers at home. If this was the case, maybe a teacher can use the blog in a computer lab setting or something similar.
Overall, it seems like a useful tool, if used properly and effectively.
Yes, just being able to model your blog in class ... and patience!
