My kids utilizing a blog in the classroom setting

Well, from what I can gather, wouldn't be very useful to my students. While they thought it would be nice to be able to respond to things in that manner, most of them don't have ready access to the internet, let alone a computer. It would just be another hassle for them to have to stay after school, go to a library, etc. in order to find a computer to use a blog on. It seems like a good idea, but in a low income school, which mine very much is, it would be almost impossible to expect all of my students to regularly check and use a blog.

On the other hand, many of them didn't even know what a blog was, that was interesting to explain, and then to get the blank looks of "why do people do this crap?"

That's about it though, no blogs for my class, not right now at least.
