Educational value of blog

The multiple contributors and commenting capabilities in many of the blogging software allow for easy peer review for students and teachers, making it a forum for interacting. It offers students the opportunity to surface their ideas in a social plane, enables individuals to participate in social construction of knowledge and meaning making.
