Introduction

Web 2.0 technologies have opened up a whole new world for education; teachers and students alike. The two way communication and interactive content of technologies such as blogs far surpass the stereotyped social technology that some people label them with. Blogs allow group communication and collaboration, homework help from peers and teachers, a comfortable environment that students are already familiar with, and much, much more. In fact, according to this EdWeek Article, 50% of 9 to 17 year olds discuss education topics when using technologies such as blogs, cell phones, etc. It is time we recognize and discuss the educational benefits of blogs!
