HOW CAN USE BLOGS:

Teachers can easily use the blog to organize a collaborative learning environment in which students can peer edit others’ postings . Students should be encouraged to comment their partner’s postings, which can also be shared by other classmates

 

Advantages of blogs :

 

1.     Blogs, in an intranet environment, can be an excellent way of sharing knowledge within the organization.

2.     Blogs can be a positive way of getting feedback, and keeping your finger on the pulse, as readers react to certain pieces, suggest story ideas, etc.

 Disadvantages of blogs are:

 

1.     Most people don’t have very much to say that’s interesting, and/or are unable to write down their ideas in a compelling and clear manner.

2.     I have often found that the people who have most time to write have least to say, and the people who have most to say don’t have enough time to write it. Thus, the real expertise within the organization lays hidden, as you get drowned in trivia.
