• Incorporating blogging technology into a class integrates the “connectivity that is part of our world in the 21st century” and opens students up to a whole new realm of learning and ways to discover and present information and knowledge. Through blogging, students are able to integrate what they are learning to “construct meaningful and relevant ways to share their learning with new audiences”.
  
• Blogging benefits students through: deepened learning, increased motivation and review, refinement and improved quality of work.
  
• Being open to new technologies, teachers are able to utilise this acceptance to parallel learning with activities the students do outside of school leading to greater relevance and significance of teaching and learning.
