INTRODUCTION
Wikipedia defines a blog as, “a weblog(usually shortened to blog) is a web-based
publication consisting primarily of periodic articles, most often in reverse chronological order”.
Blogging is the posting of journal-like pages to a website. In a border and more educational
system, blogs are about communicating. Educational blogging is blogging by students, teachers,
administers, industry experts and other involved entities that focus primarily on the educationall
process and educational interests.
An edublog is a blog created for educational purposes. Edublogs archive and support
student and teacher learning by facilitating reflection, questioning by self and others,
collaboration[1] and by providing contexts for engaging in higher-order thinking. Edublogs
proliferated when blogging architecture became more simplified and teachers perceived the
instructional potential of blogs as an online resource. The use of blogs has become popular in
education institutions including public schools and colleges. Blogs can be useful tools for sharing
information and tips among co-workers, providing information for students, or keeping in
contact with parents. Common examples include blogs written by or for teachers, blogs
maintained for the purpose of classroom instruction, or blogs written about educational policy.
Educators who blog are sometimes called edubloggers.

CONTENT
A blog is a frequently updated website that often resembles an online journal. Nowadays,
blogs can also display photos and some people are using them with audio and even video, but
this article will concentrate on the basics, showing how a simple text-based blog can be used to
greatr effect with your English language learners.
Types og blogs used in language teaching
Aaron Campbell has outlined three types of blogs for use with language classes:
The Tutor Blog is run by the teacher of a class. The content of this type of blog can be
limited to syllabus, course information, homework, assignments, etc. Or the teacher may
choose to write about his or her life, sharing reflections about the local culture, target
culture and language to stimulate online and in-claaa discussion.
The Class Blog is a shared space, with teacher and students being able to write to the
main area. It is best used as a collaborative discussion space, an extra curricular extension
of the classroom. Students can be encouraged to reflect in more depth, in writing, on
themes touched upon in class.
The Learner Blog is the third type of blog and it requires more time and effort from the
teacher to both setup and moderate, but is probably the most rewarding. It involves giving
each student an individual blog. The benefit of this is that this becomes the students’
own personal online space. Students can be encouraged to write frequently about what
interests them, and can post comments on other student’s blog.

Common pedagogical uses of student blogging in the classroom
According to extant literature, students use blogging in classrooms for different purposes.
Blogs are used to showcase individual student work by enabling them to publish texts, video
clips, audio clips, maps, photos and other images, projects and suchlike in a potentially
publically accessible forum. Proponents of student blogging argue that blogging can contribute
directly to improved writing abilities and argue that classroom blogging can enable students to
engage with audiences beyond their classroom walls by using blogs as personal journals, as
diaries, for story writing, and for making editorial responses to news events. Researchers have
also documented teachers using student blogging to promote creativity and self-expression.
Reasons for using student blogging in classrooms
Some researchers claim that student blogs promote learning by providing opportunities
for students to take more control of their learning and the content they engage. It is also claimed
that student blogging intrinsically motivates students to become better readers and writers.
Professional Development Blogs for Teachers
Although there are many blogs that teachers can use in the classroom with their students,
there is also a multitude of blogs that teachers can use for their own professional development.
Such blogs include hints on ways to be a better teacher in a certain subject area such as music,
mathematics, or ESL, blogs on educational theory, blogs on advice for new teachers, blogs on
where to find free technology, and blogs on transforming education, for example. There is much
that can be learned from blogs of other teaching professionals and the learning can be done
anytime and anywhere.

What blogging does for students
1. Helps them find a voice: Educational blogging provides opportunity for the students to
find a personal voice and to develop individual interests.
2. Cteates enthusiasm for writing and communication: It is not expected that all students
will take to blogging, but it is believed that blogging has a unique ability to create
enthusiasm for writing and the communication of ideas.
3. Engages students in conversation and learning: Unlike traditional forms of publication
that are one-way, when the work is done at the end of the publication process, students
can be engaged in ongoing conversations about their ideas and thoughts.
4. Provides an opportunity to teach about responsible journalism: Because students who are
posting blogs reach an audience with their posts, whereas a personal diary can be kept
private, students have the opportunity in blogging to learn about the power of the
published word.
5. Empowers students: student blogging is encredibly empowering in many ways that it
helps to promote athe skills of creative witing, self expression and free communication
6. To provide extra reading practice for students.

CONCLUSION
Education blogs are becoming a means for educators, students, and education
administrators to interact more effectively than ever before. They are also a great resource for
those searching for the best online education programs to jumpstart their teaching careers
There are several uses of edublogs. Some bloggers use their blogs as a learning journal or
a knowledge log to gather relevant information and ideas, and communicate with other people.
Some teachers use blogs to keep in contact with students' parents. Some bloggers use blogs to
record their own personal life, and express emotions or feelings. Some instructors use blogs as an
instructional and assessment tool, and blogs can be used as a task management tool. Blogs are
used to teach individuals about writing for an audience as they can be made public, and blogging
