Blogging in Bio

Students can use blogging to express ideas and share information with each other. In biology, we can use blogs to have online debates about ethical issues in biology (such as cloning, stem cells, etc.) while they study the content. They can summarize articles they find and post links to them to the blog. They can also make videos/slideshows using animoto which is like slides shows on steroids. I could also post questions to the blog and have students respond online.
