Educational blogs are created for educational purposes to facilitate reflection, questioning, collaboration, and higher-order thinking by archiving and sharing content. Students can use blogs to journal about class discussions, reflect on lessons, share ideas for applying knowledge, and see themselves as contributors to professional communities. Blogging also helps students express themselves in writing and develop writing habits. Popular educational blogging services like Edublogs make it easy for teachers to create blogs and customize them to give assignments, collect student work, and conduct learning assessments and surveys.
