Blogs in Education

To me, blogs are the ultimate tool for collaboration.  Today, educators are encouraged to be collaborative not only in their decision making but also in their inquiry into issues affecting their schools.  As a science teacher, I know the importance of publishing it for peer review.  Blogs provide an atmosphere never before seen for this critiquing process.  By simply sharing your findings and thoughts on a blog, you allow others from different situations to weigh in on your research.  As an educator in the 21^st century, I feel I’d be foolish not to utilize blogs if I were to be doing any type of research, large or small.
