Blogging can be used many ways, but the main concept of blogging in my opinion is that it is a way for people offer up their thoughts and opinions on certain topics, and current events. Blogs are a place where a person can think out loud and not have to worry about being interrupted by anyone else, and by doing this a person is able to explain how they feel more accurately. Blogs also allow a person to see their own thoughts in writing, and its also interesting to look back on your views in the past and see how they have changed and evolved over time.

Looking through the Blogmeister site I saw a variety of different ideas of how blogs can be used in education. I viewed one teacher's blog where the class had taken a trip and the teacher had given a brief description of what the class had done and also put up some pictures of the trip. I thought this was a neat way to allow parents to hear about what their child did as well as see some pictures of what went on throughout the day. The blog I viewed that stuck out the most to me was one where a teacher had posed a question to his/her students, and wanted to get their opinion on a current issue. I really liked the way the teacher utilized the blog because it is something I could see myself doing in the future when I enter the profession. Using the blog to have students to respond allows them to utilize technology, which every kid these days seems to enjoy :).
