Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is “blogging” and someone who keeps a blog is a “blogger.

Blogs have many uses, but my interest is how blogs are used in education. Here are some of the most common uses for blogs in education.

• Teachers can use blogs to replace the traditional webpage
• Teachers can link internet pages that are related to the subjects they teach
• Blogs can be used for class topic discussions
• Teachers can summarize lessons and post homework for students who are absent
• Students can reflect on their learning through blogs
