Why Use Blogs?





Test Kitchen: I have been using this site in my class for a few months now.  It is a cool gadget that helps engage students.  I have never had any problems with it.  I have not had students make their own yet but, I suppose that it would be really easy to have the students make their own as well.  You don't need to log in to create one but, you can log in and save yours if you want to.  The site is sponsored by the Australian Arts Association but, they don't seem to mind if you use it for your class.  The is one weird thing that it does sometimes when you use long sentences it puts part of the word on one line and the rest on the other line.  Beggars can't be choosers though.
