Before my "Instructional Applications of the Internet" class in ITEC I had only heard some small mentions of using social media for classes.
That's not to say I had not used it at all. There were a couple classes that I chatted with my fellow classmates about a group project on FB, but that was not a requirement of the class, that was simply the best route for "meeting" with my group.
A friend of mine got to play on twitter for her English class but again, I had not heard much about it.
Previously, I had mentioned that Blogging had been discussed in passing in a previous learning class but it was only touched on.
I find that I am excited to use blogging and twitter for my classes as a new way to interact with the class. I feel far more comfortable in the blogging world filling out the details about my thoughts on a topic than I do in discussion boards.
I found this video when browsing educational blogging ideas. I may have to try them some day.
The video was posted to this site which has some other great tips.

What do you guys think? Do you like adding blogging into the classroom? Did you find the video interesting?
