Blog If You Want To

Kevin Bushweller is correct in his column about blogging [“Thou Shalt Blog,” November/December]. You cannot force these things on anyone and make them like it. I feel the same way about teacher Web pages. If you force people to do these things against their will, you end up with just more pointless pages on the Internet. We have enough of that. I blog myself. I’m thinking about ways to use blogs in my classroom, but it’s not for everyone.
