Any type of addition whether it be video, photos, or an audio file can be useful within the blog. Sometimes from a teacher's point of view, a picture may be worth a thousand words when trying to give instructions, or you need to add a tone of voice in order to ensure that the correct message is received.
Certainly, the inclusion of videos is great for media studies especially when asking students to comment on certain ads or news clips.
