I am trying to think of ways that I could use a blog to work in my chemistry classes...As there are multiple ways to solve a problem, maybe I could ask a general question and see how my students answer. I might be able to get a better view of their method of problem solving. Another way I could use a blog is to allow students to have a general discussion of the chapter problem sets that they are given. They could log on and discuss with each other and me the difficulties and frustrations that they are having with the problems.
As I get used to working with blogs, I might be able to expand them to get more broader topics... For example, we could discuss the ethics of nuclear energy and nuclear reactions. How can we limit the amount of chemical waste in the environment? Is global warming a fact? This would really enhance their scientific education by allowing students to apply some of the information that they have learned.
