Blogging for Education

26 Aug, 2005

I have been using journals for the last few years specifically for learners with English as a second language. I have found that the review and reflection provided by internet blogs have been invaluable in critiquing activities and learning.

The two questions which I constantly ask are: What have you (learner) learned today? And What have I (me) learned today? Perhaps they are the most important questions for any educator.

Blogs certainly capture this information and is one example of a number of fundamental teaching and learning activities that blogs can support. In addition, I hope it will provide the opportunity to network and share ideas, providing a forum for educators to discuss and build communities. They are essential tools for learning. Indeed a basic human right. I wanted a service committed to education, providing rich and diverse functionality. I couldn’t really find something that was truly focused on education.

So here it is.

This service is free, and it will always be free. Enjoy :)
