I realized that whenever I used blogging with my mathematics students for the first time, they infrequently blogged. They only post comments and engage in the provided online conversation whenever there is a grade assigned to the online participations. In addition, I realized that the shy students communicate in online conversation more than face to face.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0The use of blogging in a class is very beneficial to both teachers and students.
