Some ideas I wanted to add to this blog (which I also added to the Angel discussion session):
Some reasons for using blogs include:
-Providing extra reading practice for students
-Online journals can be read by peers
-Help guide students to online sources appropriate for their level
-Increases a sense of community in a class
-Encourages shy students to participate
-Stimulates out of class discussions
-Encourages a process-writing approach
-Online portfolio of students' written work
-Builds a closer relationship between students in larger classes
How do I add myself as a contributor? I thought I set myself up for it, but my name is not there... can someone please help me?

Is this the discussion of your article of the blog itself?
I like the way you included the positives of blogging for students. It is motivating and encouraging. It makes students ready and excited to read and write and learn computer skills that they don't know that they are learning.
I think it was very unique to include you team members opinions!
I agree, I think it's very important for kids to have some sort of visual aid because when you're just up there talking and talking, kids easily get distracted. I'm excited to see how fast technology is spreading throughout our schools.
