This article (found via Stephen’s Web) discusses how blogs can supplement, enhance traditional teaching methods in schools.
It covers various ways in which blogs can be used in class room:
– Blogs as classroom tools
– Blogs as administration tools
– Blogs as discussion tools
– Blogs as publication tools
There is useful link to blogs in online colleges.
