Blogs & Common Core

I know that blogs are an effective mean of communication and an innovative educational tool.  I did not know about all the benefits as pointed out in Jacqui Murray's 13 Ways Blogs Teach Common Core.  I began to use blogs last year in my classes and now I remember how much students enjoyed reading each others posts.  They even liked commenting and writing their own blog to generate feedback.  Students can also post music, art, and videos on a blog.  Blogs are the quickest way for students to get feedback which is one of the many common core standards.
