Blogging in the classroom

I feel that blogging is a great way to incorporate technology into the classroom. One example I propose would be to create a history unit that explores the history of technology. The object would be to divide students into groups of two or three that examined technological advances. For example, the impact that radio, cell phone and of course the internet had on society. They would then post their findings on a group blog. There next blog would be there speculations on what life would be like with out these advances. Another example would be how these advances affect students in their daily lives ie how often do they use these technological advances. This unit could involves several blogging posts two per week for a start. I feel that the history of technology is fascinating and often over looked. It has a very large impact on our lives and we often take in for granted.
