  School Blogs : Blogging to Learn

Blogs are generally an informal website and is destined to become powerful tool for e-learning and knowledge management. It is a website where the entries are updated and usually maintained by any single author; such entries are often accompanied by links to other blogs that the site’s editor visits frequently. In the year 1999 blogging softwares arrived in the scenario enabling people to post their content on any desired website. Such softwares come with a personal website for those who do not have one. The weblog software and weblog models are proving to be increasingly useful only to push the inspiring and innovative developments. Such models include information and knowledge management, community building, publishing and journalism, teaching, learning & collaboration and course management systems

Users can generate any idea in his mind, and while sharing with other people all over the world, they can get interesting feedbacks, based on which one can develop an idea that is a revelation in this space age. It is also seen that many innovative teachers encourages their students to maintain classes and personal school blogs. This type of encouragements create enthusiasm among the students who, then, come forward to write, edit, review and publish content, in addition to some valid criticism to their fellow colleagues and friends. The teachers make various articles available to their students, which help them in assessing the ability and thinking pattern of their students.

According to former MTV dj Adam Curry, children are like vain and desire, and require an audience for their thoughts and achievements. The children should get more involved with the websites rather than what is required to post a few articles in the web. Thus, school blogs can be the own voice or the soapbox for the children.
