While reading Silvia Tolisano's Blogging as Pedagogy: Facilitate Learning it really helped me think of different ways blogging can be used in the classroom. She says that blogging should be seen as a pedagogy instead of an "add-on" or an "isolated project." She had listed different ways blogging can help with reading, writing, reflecting, and sharing. The list of things really helped open my eyes to different ways I can use blogging in the classroom and how it can actually help the students.

In the first blog that I read by Silvia Tolisano was And You Thought it Could Not Be Done: Blogging in Math. I agree with her that it is weird had not many language arts teachers do not use blogging. Language arts would seem like one of the subjects that you would use blogging in, especially since the students would get more feedback on their writing and help with their grammar. She talks about how you can also use blogging for math because you will get a bigger audience which gives you more feedback on different math problems.
