Regardless of the age or grade level, blog as a pedagogy has benefits for all students. Today’s students live in a rich world of technology and the pedagogy of blogging has the ability to teach students how to navigate that world. Blogging has the ability to support, facilitate, and enrich learning in every classroom through reading, writing, reflection, and discussion. It provides students with the ability to creatively express themselves and their learning. Perhaps most important, however, blogging teaches students about digital spaces, online communities, and how to create content. Creating a blog can help a student learn how to communicate online, that their online presence matters, and it can affect other individuals. In an elementary school classroom, students could use blogs to document their learning and knowledge of subjects like science and social studies. Each student could create a blog to use as a digital portfolio where they create track of their learning in science class. A blog offers a fun, creative way for students to document and reflect on what they’ve been taught in class.
