What are the benefits of blogging for students?
I am currently enrolled in a professional development course through University of LaVerne, and the name of my course is "Creating a Google Apps Classroom." One of the "tasks" I have to complete is to set up a blogger account and create a post about the benefits of blogging for students. Since I already have a blogger account set up, that part was easy! The benefits of blogging for students are numerous, but first and foremost, it gives students a larger audience for their writing. Instantly, it's not just your best friend who gets to hear about the great book you're reading. It's the entire online community, thus adding a layer of authenticity to the assignment that could not otherwise be achieved. It also holds students accountable for their work and improves grammar and spelling, since they know they will have a larger audience for their writing.
