Thing 3

I am also thinking about going paperless next year. Blogs will be a major tool in this effort. Many assignments can be done using a blog. I think that a blog will encourage students to be more careful in their writing. Many students may actually write more knowing that classmates will be able to view and comment. Blogs may also be useful in the editing process. Students can use their peers as a resource before turning work in. My main concern with using blogs in this manner is that some students will not use them constructively. The is the real possibility that inappropriate comments could cause problems. We will have to monitor what is actually published.
