Knowledge: to post assignments and discriptions, to post class resources and to create a place where students can respond to postings related to course content.
Comprehension: students are more likely to become engaged with technology and can access course materials outside of school. Students are able to get to know the teacher and other students more personaly.
Applications: You can post your own resources to support your opinions and values while contininously searching others blogs to find common answers. Blogs can be a safe place for teachers to address classroom issues and help each other find answers.
Analysis: Yes because information is continuously updated. You can contact the author of the blog, asking questions and leaving comments. It is also a place where stundets are able to voice there opinion and engage in meaningful conversations, debates and forums.
Synthesis: You become more of a facilitator rather than director or formal teacher. You guide students towards answers and allow opinions to be heard, creating a much more student centered learning experience.
Evaluation: It may be hard to track students posts, and involvement in the online community. Information can be irrevelant, inaccurate and bias. It can also become a social tool rather than an educational outlet. It can also become a sesspool of cyberbullying.
