Blogs can also be used to present more than text. Students can be given direct access to resources appropriate for document based essay composition and discussion. These resources may include artwork, maps, and graphs. You can either create a hyperlink (http://www-lnc.usc.edu/~brannon/pix/artemisia-gentileschi/judith-slaying-holofernes.jpg) to a picture or actually post that picture in your blog. This extends your classroom and allows students to analyze and evaluate visuals connected to the content. Because these resources are available outside the classroom, students can work at their own pace and necessary duration. Students can see how other students analyze the visuals and build their own skills.
