Educational Blogs

The value of educational blogs is high, and it is extremely important to the 21st Century learner. Our students today are already confidently blogging about their social lives. Why can’t they blog about their educational lives also. Blogs allow our students to connect with people all over the world, people who have different cultures, ethnic backgrounds and socio-economic status. In social studies, our students don’t just have to read about China. They can actually carry on conversations with Chinese students their own age. Teachers can use their blogs to post assignments, documents that were handed out in class and even their PowerPoint lectures. Information is readily available for our students who use blogs.
