But some middle and high school students still do not know how to blog!
Middle and high school students can use their blogs in a classroom setting to improve the communication between teacher and student. The teacher can post the course content and students can post a comment to the blog. They can also link their blogs to the blog of other students.
Blogging adds excitement to the classroom.
