Blogging

It is my opinion that blogging is not for everyone and therefore should not be a requirement for everyone in a classroom. As the article stated, some people prefer to create videos or podcasts, as opposed to blogging. Writing is not every one's cup of tea, but it can be a great way to get people to think creatively and independently. Most research now a days is conducted online and this is one reason that leads me to believe that faculty members indeed should create some sort of identity online in order to represent themselves and their school. However, I do believe that how faculty or students choose to do this should be based solely on their interests.
