After reading Dan’s response to Kim Cofino’s blog, my beliefs in the use of blogs in the classroom have been reinforced. I have always seen blogs as a great way for students to record their thoughts, opinions and doings on a day to day basis.

Not only are they great recording tools, but sharing tools. Students can visit other students’ blogs from schools and countries other than their own. There, they are able to learn the opinions and practices of those in other schools both nationally and internationally.

Blogs allow students to access sources which are otherwise inaccessible or difficult to access - professional blogs for instance. Blogs are an extremely versitile and enjoyable tool which can be used very effectively in a primary school classroom.
