More about Blogs Anyone can blog, no special HTML codes Entries on a blog appear with the most recent entry  displayed first.  Blogs allow for interaction among readers and the blog writer via the comments feature.  Readers can leave a comment related to the blog topic.  A new blog is created every two seconds! (Richardson, 2005)
Why Blog in Schools? Blogging allows students to practice their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills.  Blogging provides students with authentic communication and motivating audiences (McPherson, 2006).  Students are often engaged in the content on a daily basis.
