Classroom blogging opens up a whole new area for learning and practice. A major benefit I find to blogging is that it extends contact with the subject matter and class interaction beyond the classroom. It gives students the opportunity and responsibility to work and interact with classmates on the topic beyond the limited meeting times of class.
I have used my moodle site to extend a discussion on a specific topic we were working on (current events: the war in Iraq) and have students give their opinion on the war, in Spanish, and comment on classmates' views, in English.
