Blogs can replace the learning logs students use throughout their inquiries. They can be the tool to connect to experts. Invite experts to view, comment and question their postings. Blogs can become the exercise book for that daily writing exercise - with a real live audience. They can be the reading activity as other blogs are read, comprehended and commented upon. They can be the reflective learning tool as we record and consider our thinkings. They can be our link to a partner school or class across the globe. They are a communication device which lends itself to social learning connections and as such have unlimited uses!
