The First Assignment - Why Blog?

Your homework is to answer the following question: Why blog in biology?

I know the short answer might be "because I have to for class," but that's not enough.  What do you hope to accomplish or show over the course of the year with your blog?

This article by Wesley Fryer (written more for teachers, but useful for you to think about) might help to explain what I'd like you to get out of the class blog project, and is worth considering before writing your answer.

I suggest that you also search the web for some other examples of high school biology blogs (by students, not by teachers).  Feel free to link to them on your post -- use a hyperlink, not just a pasted link, please.  We'll get into including more media (video, Jing, Prezi presentations, etc) in future posts.  For now this is more of a writing assignment.  Post your answer on your blog.
