The article thing was interesting to read. First off, it told why teachers would post blogs, and why it helps students and teachers understand each other a little bit better through the blogging process. If you think about now, vs. say, a hundred years ago, the internet has created a way to overstep boundaries, and collect information from all over the world. It also instantly connects people from all over the world, as a few days ago I added someone from MSN that lives in Lithuania. Other than Instant Messaging, there is blogging. Blogging is basically an internet journal, which allows people to spread their minds to other people, and allows people to be free. You do have to be careful with information you put online, but that goes for anything. Like me. I never use my real name, but one of My characters names, and I have a lot of internet names.
Now, teaching blogging is important because it allows for people to connect in various ways. A teacher can post assignments, directions, and everything else, for both parents and students to look over, as well as the students may leave comments explaining that they don't understand it or that they might need extra help.

Parents may learn about how their child is doing in class, and teachers can check up about how their students are doing at home. It also helps when students are absent so they will know what is going on in class.
Also. Blogging makes people to create a better sense of self on the Web, creating a specific voice by allowing people to share their thoughts and obsessions and ideas. It makes some people look forward to writing more than they usually are, and takes a different look on exactly what normal discussion might leave out.
They offer better ways of discussion and speaking out without the chance of being interrupted or stuttering in nervousness, as some people, like myself, have a tendency to do. Blogging itself is a way for more people to communicate and understand each other, making new things together by understanding each other's thought processes.
