Blogging is educationally sound for teaching students because:
- a space for sharing opinions and learning in order to grow communities of discourse and knowledge
- a space where students and teachers can learn from each other
- a space where owner can express his/her own opinions and foster ownership and choice
- a space where others can view opinions and if allowed, add comments
- a space that facilitates ongoing learning
- students can read other students blogs, creating an opportunity for collective and collaborative learning
