Blogging Concerns

With everything in this world, there is always a negative side. There are concerns about blogging that is evident. One of the biggest concerns is that our students post anything and everything on their blog. They forget that their blog can be read by anyone all over the world. A middle-aged man half-way across the world can be reading the blog of a middle school age girl. That man is able to carry on conversations with the girl as someone else. Sometimes our students post too much personal information on their blogs. Blogging allows our students a sense of freedom in what they can say and boldness in how they say it. They are removed from the situation. Bullying is much easier online and is harder to do something about.
