In this article the author argues about educational blogging as a research tool. The author states that blogging is a great venue to chat with others about certain issues or problems but in a more public manner. It is recommended that classes now have “class blogs” that enable the students to get on and discuss assignments and post resources valuable to the entire class. Not only does this benefit the students in the class currently but it also can be made available to future students who take that course. Even separate courses can benefit from this as well. Say you are working on a lab for a polymer science course and the same material is being covered in a architectural engineering class, these two classes could look at each others’ notes and both benefit from each other.
