I think using blogs can be very beneficial; they can allow us to express ourselves. Blogs can be useful in education because teachers and students can post their opinions and thoughts on certain educational aspects such as lesson plans and curriculum, and you can learn new insights from others. I do not believe blogs would be a waste of students' time. As a teacher, you could get feedback from the students about maybe what they like and do not like about how you teach. Students could also mention what kind of learner he or she is and how they learn best. Blogging is also a good way to communicate between the teacher and the students.
I thought that using blogging in education was a waste of time, but you brought up some good points that may make me change my mind. I didn't think about the fact blogging could serve as a way to communicate likes and dislikes about the teacher.
