Educational blogs are providing an efficient tool for teachers to provide information to their students. It is sort of like a teacher website, but it is a good forum for presenting videos that you found interesting, or for presenting thought provoking discussion topics to be considered for the next day. For example there was a blog where a teacher posted some educational science videos that he had just recently viewed for his students to look. Wikis are a fantastic way to do group projects and discussion groups. As a math teacher, it provides a great tool for students to learn through interacting with their peers as opposed to just asking me every time they have a question. Or, to use an example from the web, they can be used to showcase students’ projects. It is a quick and easily accessible way for people to be able to see what your students have been accomplishing.
As a math teacher, I think it is a little bit harder to find uses for RSS/aggregators. They are a fantastic tool for keeping up on current events, so I suppose I would see if I could find a few websites on math news and keep an RSS feed from those. Also, potentially an RSS feed could be used to keep tabs on math websites that are in the process of being constructed. Or, it could be used to keep tabs on another class/group to keep tabs on data that is being collected so that we could use the data for a math project.
2 pros of using blogs in education
Blogs are a good way of informally reviewing content each day. Students could access it for a quick reminder on what was taught and maybe bring a response to a question you post to class. Or maybe post a response to a wiki.
Also, blogs could be used in the classroom to have students keep journals. This could be used to monitor their progress and collect data on how they are feeling about the class. It could also provide a way for students to find out what was taught in class without having to talk to the teacher if they miss a class.
2 cons of using blogs
They take time to keep updated. Just like all technology they require a lot of maintenance for them to be really useful. And if they are not maintained, students will stop checking them making them unreliable for conveying information. If unreliable, students may start using them as an excuse for missing things that have been posted.
For student blogs, especially in a math class students might view them as ridiculous tools that aren’t related to the subject and treat them as a waste of time instead of a reflective opportunity. Also, just like teachers, students might stop updating them regularly.

2 pros of wikis
They are great for group work. They can be used to help students interact and react to material. As the students interact, it helps socially construct knowledge. Just like with in class group learning, it gives them an opportunity to present material too each other in a different fashion than the teacher has.
They can work as a group when they have free time. Lots of group projects require a substantial amount of time and finding a time when everyone can meet can be exceptionally difficult. This gives the group a chance to meet and share information on their own time.
Cons
The teacher does not have control over what students post and deleting posts doesn’t delete them forever. Inappropriate content that gets posted is hard to get rid of permanently.
They can be viewed by anybody.
