Blogs can be used to support learning and teaching by promoting collaboration, communication, sharing, analytical thinking, and reflection. They give a sense of ownership and authorship while being informal. Blogs can be used for research, sharing ideas and information, personal reflection, discussion, documenting events and activities, and informing assessment and feedback. Teachers and students can use blogs for reflective journals, e-portfolios, sharing resources and experiences.
