Overview of Edublogs
====Blogs are a great way to carry the classroom discussion online, especially for homework assignments and projects. There are many situations in which students do not have enough time to discuss their thoughts with the class. Traditional homework generally prevents students from sharing information with their teachers outside of school and with fellow classmates. Blogs are a great way to resolve this dilemma. You can use blogs to give more targeted discussions on subject matter you believe is relevant for students' knowledge in Social Studies, whether that is history, government, or geography. You can use a blog to have students continue the discussion at home; all the while you will be able to guide the conversation.==== ====Since you are familiar with creating blogs through blogger.com, we are going to use a blogging site which was designed specifically for education.
