There are many ways to include the use of blogs in the classroom for students. It would be a great tool for students to use and write in daily or weekly, and as time goes by the students can revisit their postings, read the comments from fellow students and enhance their learning. With most students having some access to a computer at home, or if they don't, there are computers almost everywhere, like shopping centres, libraries and at friends houses. With the students having a URL address they can invite their families to see what they learn at school, and they too can make their own comments, which I believe would encourage the student to want to do more. At the moment in classrooms students use Science journals, Mathematics journals and other journals. By making this information available in computer's the benefits are endless. I have just finished adding my fellow colleagues to my blog URL, and found it an easy process. I think what I do is add people to my blog, does it then go to the person I requested, and then when that person say's yes to following me, is this when they come up as one of my follower's???Not quite sure, but I will find out sooner or later.

Hi Tanya, for people to come up as following you they have come to your blog and clicked to follow you. Some people may have chosen to set their security settings so that they have to confirm that you can follow them. Once they have chosen to follow you thats when they pop up on your blog. If you choose to follow someone you will pop up on their blog as a little picture in the following spot. If you have started to follow people they may notice and choose to come and read your blog and as a result choose to follow you.
