We spent some time today presenting a workshop on blogging. One of the topics we discussed was "Why Blog?" Here are two articles that address this question:
- 20 Reasons for students to blog
- Why use blogs in education?
Another topic we explored was "How can I use blogs in education?" The following resources might be useful:
- Matrix of possible uses for blogs in education
- Examples of blogs in education
How popular are blogs? According to David Sifry and Technorati, in April 2007 there were over 70 million blogs and 120,000 blogs were being created every day. That's like 1.4 new blogs being made every second.

Thank you for sharing my blog post, on "20 reasons why students should blog" It has been nearly two years since I wrote that and I am still as passionate as ever on having a blog and encouraging students to blog. As we use them more and more, it is possible to see further potential in their use.
