Well honestly with this whole thing i don’t really know how it works. can i spell words ‘rong’? can I CAPITALIZE whenever i want, can i just keep on going without finishing sentences, or do people really care about that stuff. i’m guessing it isn’t a big deal in general in the blogging world so i don’t plan on wasting the time to use any good grammer.
anyways, as for education, business, etc, from looking at different sites i see the very positive effects of having a blog- lets take it one at a time
Education. I can’t think of a single class that I have been in where i have wanted to say or ask something, but the fear or slothfulness of actually having to raise your hand and ask in front of the class. So when you have something you would have wanted to say or ask in front of the class you could just blog it. The blog is almost like a way for the student to have a private segway to the teacher without even having to go out of their way to embarace themselves. of course another positive side to this is for any grade level their is still a sense of enhancing the students ability to represent how they feel through writting.
As for business- well their are tons of applications. take for example some companies have a blog where they can talk about work related activities. on the other hand also they can have a blog set up to be a brainstorming site. the cool thing about the brainstorming is that it lets the members of a group check out what has already been posted and either work off of that or use that to send them in another alternative direction.
also another great applicaiton for the blog is the ability for people to voice their opinions on anything and everthing. for example one of my blogs is on walmart. it is cool that just the current events and actions of one company, walmart, would make people want to do their own blogsite that specifically comments on walmart.
Well regardless i must say i have had a pretty good time in my first official blog. I enjoyed being able to freely speak and I hope that my comments and ideas have some relevance.

Beautiful blog and great thoughts. We do try to continue reinforcing good grammar, spelling and appropriate punctuation. Everything we write is practice and reinforcement for how to do it right. I used to grade my students blogs and they lost points for misspellings and poor punctuation. Students NEVER like to capitalize the first letter in the first word of a sentence…. seems the shift key is too much trouble, but aren’t we doing a disservice to them if we don’t try to educate when an opportunity presents itself?
I tried to watch your video, but it seems that YouTube says it’s no longer available. One of the pitfalls of linking to another website, but worth the risk!
