Blogging can help students become lifelong learners by developing skills like strategic thinking and extended thinking. The document discusses using blogs to have students go on a journey of learning through writing, reading, and commenting on each other's work. Blogging allows students to learn how to learn, unlearn, and relearn skills like writing through a process of putting their work in public and getting feedback from others.
