Advantages and disadvantages of to use a blog as a tool for English pilot class.

I believe that the advantages of this system are:
- You can practice grammar, spelling and writing with various items of interest.
- It is very didactic.
- You can encourage its use through visual resources such as videos and photographs.
- A more interesting homework.
- It can be performed at any time you have a computed.
- It can be viewed at any time by the teacher or peers.

Disadvantages:
- Not all homes have a computer and the Internet.
- Sometimes the website may be faulty preventing access to students.

As can be seen, there are more advantages than disadvantages in the use of their blog in English pilot class.
Critic of class’ blog
From Maritza Garrido P.

Dear teacher:

I think it is an excellent idea to create a blog for the work of the English pilot class, but I think that,in chile, today not all homes have Internet, so it's a little more difficult to perform homeworks for such persons .. Except for that detail, I think it is an excellent idea, the blog allows you to work in various subjects, practice vocabulary, grammar and spelling.
There is a need to refine this system to be implemented more efficiently in future courses of English pilot, in order to become an effective tool for the student and teacher. It is very didactic that on the website of the blog can be loaded pictures of the issues. In addition to upload videos; teacher, you Should consider as a tool that can be very useful.
The key to the success of this system is to balance two things: a record of pupils, allowing time within the colase to develop the themes of the blog and a constant revision of the themes developed by the students. I hope that my comments will help to perfect this system professor.

Sincerely, Maritza.
