Reflection on how to use webblog for teaching and learning

I find webblog quite useful for teaching and learning nowadays.
First of all, it improves the communication between teachers and students, or teachers and parents. Teacher could post reminder everyday and give student exercise during holidays, or they could leave comment online for students and parents to check out.
Secondly, through the interesting and vivid functions that webblog provided, learning is no longer monotone. Students can learn through watching video, reading notes or even playing games, which are selected and assigned by teachers. It may also help to develop students' habit of writing diary, so as the teachers.
However, teachers should not use webblog as their sole tool to communication with students. It's important to make sure all students have computer and internet access at home
