The need to blog.

Blogs help students to interact with each other even outside the classroom thus creating opportunities for students to be self motivated and to engage in reading and writing tasks in new and innovative ways. It helps all students to be at ease in performing reading and writing activities as they are given opportunities to express themselves freely. It helps students who are learning new languages to communicate easier with their peers. Students also have time to collaborate with their peers and share their work with each other and such collaboration also leads in the development of positive self esteem and values. Students can be very creative,expressive and responsible in the use of blogs. Blogs also remove the technical issues so students have avenues to put more in the content in writing so as the material when read by the reader will be more meaningful.
