Blogging as an educational tool in a science classroom.
This diagram shows how blogs could be used to improve student learning in a science classroom. Of the four listed advantages, the linking or separation of concepts in a particular topic would be of most use in improving student learning outcomes.
I agree with what you have on your concept map 100% but I believe that there are some other great advantages of blogs. I believe that most people are looking at blogs as a colaborative learning tool that all students can look at and comment on but I believe that blogs would be a great way or putting down concepts and strategies that worked well for a aprticular student as well as putting down information in their own words and ways so that they can use blogs as a study tool as well as a learning tool.
That is definitely a fair comment. An expanding concept map is a good method for students to believe they are learning, but also an excellent method to recap prior learning. The collaborative nature of the tool could also have the effect of multiplying all students' knowledge bases and providing alternative points of view.
