Blogs can be an extremely helpful and useful tool in the age of technology, if it is used properly. The author of the blog should know what they are writing about and stick to a general thesis. Every blog should have a unique or catchy title so that people will actually want to read what the author is writing about. Regardless of the topic being discussed in the blog, it should be presented in an enthusiastic way, otherwise the reader's will get bored and move on to another, more stimulating blog. I personally believe that authors of blogs should use "correct" English grammar and punctuation, otherwise they will appear uneducated and less credible, even if that is not the case. I also do not think blogs should be extensively long. I prefer straight to the point and informative blogs.
I think blogs are a good way for teachers to excite their student's interest in a specific topic. Many young people today feel more comfortable writing on a blog, as opposed to expressing their ideas in class. Also, using blogs makes every student's voice heard, not only the one's who speak in class. Technology is the way of the world now, and in order to motivate student's, I think it must be used.
True statement on that blogs should be useful. No one likes reading a blog that is not worth their time to read.
