Impact of Blogging in Teaching Math

            Modern ways of teaching is very effective now a days. Blogging is only one of those ways a teacher can introduce to his/her students. There a plenty of advantages of blogging as a teaching tool. Through "blog" students, in particular, can log on anytime and anywhere. It takes teaching and learning to a level that is beyond their classroom setting. If they have questions, they can automatically surf in the in the Internet or post it on their blog site. For teachers, they can have plenty of information and learning resources to offer to their students. Using it as tool for teaching, teachers will focus more on students discovery rather than on content delivery. Students will have a direct learning by asking and responding to "blog". Another advantage of blogging in teaching Math is that word problems may be solved on new ways and creative solutions, with the aid of "blog". Students centered learning will be more self-directed. However,despite of those advantages I mentioned above has of course an opposite.  If teacher's will  put too much dependency on blogging that would also create a disadvantages. Yes, pictures and videos may aid the presentation but it is still the  discussion and self-directed learning that will provide benefits outside the traditional classroom learning situation.
