In my opinion, blogging can be useful in many ways. At the same time its not exactly likely that every single kid in a class will have both the internet and a computer available to them at home. While this is becoming more and more uncommon, it is still a possibility which cannot really be ignored. As far as communication goes, I feel there is more appropriate avenues for students, professors, and even friends to relate their feelings to each other than an entirely public diary. Some students might have a tendency to say too much online.
I completely agree with you on the issue of every student having access to the internet. Also, I think this could create a distance between the student and the teacher by creating a less personal setting but I still like the idea because this would give the students who are too shy to give their opinion without the awkward setting of a classroom and their peers.
