Public Sticky notes
"A weblog (usually shortened to blog, but
occasionally spelled web log or weblog) is a web-based publication consisting
primarily of periodic articles, most often in reverse chronological order."

Educational Blogging is blogging by students, teachers, administrators, industry
experts, and other involved entities that focus primarily on the educational
process and educational interests.

students with individual blogs have an opportunity to discover the work and joy of communicating their ideas in written form, and then getting feedback from others.

The providing of each student with an individual blog seems to generate the most significant enthusiasm for blogging among students

Another benefit to educational blogging (and wiki-writing) is the opportunity
for the student to find a personal "voice" and to develop individual interests.
Much like journal-writing, blogging gives wings to ideas that otherwise may can
stay trapped in the mind. Many individuals find that blog-writing changes their
lives in a significant way by allowing them to express their ideas in a medium
that appears to have life and longevity--and that might find a kindred audience.

Student blogging has to be overseen with coaching and training to make sure that both that personal data is not communicated and that blog posts are appropriate.

It is not expected that all students will take to blogging (just as not all
students enjoy writing), but it is believed that blogging has a unique ability
to create enthusiasm for writing and the communication of ideas.

Educational Blogging is more than just being about writing,
just like writing is more than just writing business correspondence or a lab
report for Chemistry class.Unlike traditional forms of publication that are
one-way, when the work is done at the end of the publication process, students
can be engaged in ongoing conversations about their ideas and thoughts. This can
be threatening for some administrators afraid of endangering children, yet, it
brings a reality to the classroom that was not previously possible.

Because students who are posting blogs reach an audience with their posts,
whereas a personal diary can be kept private, students have the opportunity in
blogging to learn about the power of the published word. Whereas they might be
tempted to criticise or make fun of someone in private conversation or in a
diary, they can be taught about responsible journalism, and that the
consequences of these kinds of remarks in the new world of the read/write web
can be serious and long-lasting.

Student blogging is incredibly empowering in the following ways:
1) Instead of writing as a mechanized approach to empowerment where we learn to write well enough for school and work, we learn to write for life-long learning purposes.
2) Writing and blogging and life are intertwined as difficult issues are exposed and dealt with in a transparent community of voices. Although this type of writing entails risk and trust, growth and teamwork naturally result.
3) Writing and blogging encourage students' initiative to write, to be engaged at more than just the head level. It involves writing from head and heart. Children often have not learned to do more than live from the heart, while adults have concentrated their efforts on more cerebral approaches. This means adults and children can bridge the gap that exists by writing together, creating a community of writers in their classrooms where there is no pseudo-community, only community where humans write.
