Post 8 - Reflecting on Blogging

Web 2.0 has great capabilities for use in the classroom, but the greatest weakness is static administration and rigid standards that do not allow the use of these collaborative networks. I would love for each of my students to have a blog, but they can't access blog or social network sites at school, making it impossible for many of my students to manage (as they do not have internet at home). Until there is a shift in mind-set, it will be a long time before I can fully implement all the tools I would love to use in order to make learning fun again.
