I think that it is going to be difficult to blog about Algebra 1, but once we get going I'm sure it will get easier. I feel like students get lost in Algebra 1 quickly and are unable to do the problems because they get stuck on an initial step. Perhaps the students will be able to ask each other questions about the homework on the blog in order to help them get past their initial confusion about a problem.
I could try to incorporate more discussion questions into my class and then have the students answer the questions on the blog. The tricky part is going to be thinking of worthwhile questions to ask that still have to do with Algebra 1.

Maybe writing down what they are doing in a problem will help students to focus on what steps are necessary to solve it.
