Encouraging Others

I'm wondering whether it would be a good idea to encourage my students to start a blog. I'd like to have them devise and maintain a team blog, so that they could share their experiences and get to know other dyslexics via the medium. I'd like them to talk to the world about their experiences. Other dyslexics could gain an insight into the work they are doing and non-dyslexics could gain an insight into what a dyslexic's life is like.
