Blogging and Education

Blogging is such a great way of giving students a wide, authentic audience for their learning. Add to that, the ability for people to comment on every piece of writing,every video, etc, and you've got a powerful learning opportunity.

Blogging provides many educational opportunities:   

• Students have an authentic audience for their learning and that has an impact on the quality of their posts.

• Students revisit and reflect upon the lessons when they read the posts on the blog. The learning doesn't stop when the chapter or unit ends, commenting keeps the learning alive.

• Students learn how to navigate around the Internet and how to present digital information in a variety of ways.

• Students have opportunities to participate and contribute to an online community.

• Students learn about geography by tracking our visitors and sharing comments with our blogging friends.
