When using technology in the classroom it is important to apply it when necessary. This article discusses how to apply blogging to the classroom and what not do as well. Blogging and other sources of technology are extremely important for the classroom seeing as technology is furthering education and it is not going away any time soon. When implementing blogging into the classroom it is important to address infective contextualization, ineffective learning objects, misuse of the environment.

Would you use blogging in the classroom?
Depending on the grade level being taught I may consider using blogging in my classroom. I believe that every class is different and depending on the mannerisms of the class would heavily weigh on whether or not the use of blogging would further their education.
In your opinion what would be the grade level to start blogging in the classroom?
I would have to say that blogging should not be used anytime before the 6th grade and maybe that is too young.
