Great Resources On How to Use Blogs in Your Classroom ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning

The virtual classroom I am talking about here is definitely not an alternative to physical, brick and mortar classroom (though in some cases such as in MOOCs and online open courseware it is) but rather and extension of the learning that takes place in the real classroom.
