Blogging in Algebra

Hi,I am new to classroom 2.0 and have recently begun to structure a blogging component to my freshman Algebra class.  I can honestly say that I am completely unsure of what to expect or how it will ultimately benefit my students.  I am hoping to enhance there abilities to communicate mathematically and thereby deepen their knowledge of the course.  I am looking for any recommendations on what might be best to make this an effective piece of my classroom.See More
