Blogging is a good way to develop your personal voice, to defend your theories, discuss with others and find a way to write for peer understanding. It can require a great deal of work before the publish post takes place.

There are several secondary pieces that need to be taught to support blogging in the classroom.

I found that there are several support articles and teaching tools. The listing below provides some good resources for incorporating blogging into your classroom.

Take a look at this Blog Basics that McGraw-Hill has created:

or in your classroom, blogging may be just what you have been looking for.
