Using blogs for teaching

The other day I was doing a presentation for the class about blogs as a resource for teaching.
Then I realized that my blog has never been used for that purpose, actually all my entries were about topics that had no relation with education or anything similar.

Then I decided that during my presentation I would show my personal blog with at least one topic related with education. Thats how this entrie was created.

Actually blogs are, indeed, a good reasource for teachers, because using them you allow your students to write about topics that they actually enjoy, such as they favorite artist or about a recently showed movie.

Another beneffit of using blogs is that since everybody from any part of te world can see it, so students focus their attencion on grammar and coherence. giving them teh chance to have feedback as well

Those are just some good aspects about using blogs for language teaching and a good way to innovate inside the classroom.
