=Using Blogging to Improve Student Writing=

//"Students don't tend to write unless they have to. Blogs are one way to change that. Asking students to keep a blog gets them in the habit of writing regularly; what's more, it gets them in the habit of writing regularly in the kind of electronic environments they'll be asked to work in outside the academy."// - Barclay Barrios (Rutgers University)
