As students continue to progress through school, reading material becomes increasingly more difficult while comprehension can decline. There’s a variety of theories and techniques to address reading comprehension at the K-12 level with blogs being one of the latest tactics to consider.
Technology intrinsically motivates students. It’s familiar to them and gives students a chance to take control of their learning paths. Blogs can motivate students to take their reading more seriously.
Students also can uncover a new level of respect for what happens in the classroom through the peer interaction within a blog community. They have more freedom to share their thoughts and can come to conclusions with help from their peers in ways that aren’t possible with pen and paper.
