I have just read Hayley’s very insightful post on the benefits of students using blogs. She explained that students could use blogs to publish their work and express their thoughts and feelings. Blogs can also be thought of as the 21st century answer to the journal and could be a valuable way of students to learn computer and literacy  skills and to express their thoughts and opinions. Blogging can be a valuable way for all students to think creatively and can help students reach a global audience and develop a greater sense of pride and recognition in all area of school. 

I then listened to a podcast from edna education which talked about how educators and adults can use blogs. While there was a huge variety of reasons for this it seems  most educators are using blogs to connect and devleop a sense of community, share ideas, support each other & to voice opinions.
