Blogging can be a powerful tool for learning when used effectively in the classroom. It allows students to develop communication skills, reflect on their learning, and build an authentic writing portfolio that can be shared with a real audience. When done collaboratively, blogging promotes discussion, global connections, and an opportunity for students to challenge their own ideas by interacting with others wrestling with similar topics of interest. Setting up student blogs through Edublogs will provide opportunities for students, teachers, and administrators in ELANCO grades K-12 to create and maintain their own blogs and benefit from these learning advantages.
