Web-based resources are increasing both in number and conventionality. In particular, blogs have become a popular method for self-expression. Educators have been encouraged to utilize blogs in the classroom. Using blogs in the classroom enhance critical thinking capacity and provide students with more effective reflection opportunities.
Websites providing free hosting services for blogs are common and frequently used. Educators may consider integrating this technology into the learning experience for students by replacing handwritten or hard copy journals with online blogs.
I had never really considered blogging until this summer. I was at a workshop where the presenter was an avid blogger. I now see the need for using blogs for education, if it is done in a professional manner.
