b. Blog Use in Education
Jones 2007 stated that in teaching practice, blogs play the role as learning journals, learning logs or thinking journals, reflective journals, audio learning logs,
reflective writing journals, visual learning logs, group discussion and collaborative writing spaces, knowledge management, dialogue for group work,
and electronic portfolios. Stanley 2005 revealed the reasons for using blogs in education, such as to provide real audience for student writing, to provide extra
reading practice for students, to increase the sense of community in a class, to encourage students to participate, and to create an online portfolio of student work.
Campbell 2003 proposed three types of blogs for use in ESL classrooms. The first is the tutor blog. It is run by the teacher for the students. The purposes of
tutor blog are as follows. 1 To give daily reading practice to the learners. Teacher can post some links to
online reading sources which suit the students’ interests. This way, the teacher avoids students’ boredom in reading.
2 To promote exploration of English websites 3 To encourage online verbal exchange by use of comment buttons. Using the
comment buttons at the bottom of each entry, teacher can create lively interactions with the students by asking questions, giving riddles, challenge
their views to stimulate the students’ responses. 4 To provide class or syllabus information. Teacher can post announcements,
assignments, remind the students about the examinations or the upcoming

discussion topics. Teacher can also follow up on difficult areas of classroom work that might need review or clarification.
5 To serve as a resource of links for self-study. Teacher can add links to online quizzes, English news cited, audio and video files for the students to practice
outside the classroom. The second type is the learner blog. This type of blog can be for individual
or a group of students to work together. The concept of learner blog is that learners will be able to explore new things by establishing a blog since it may
encourage the use of search engines and net surfing in English to find the appropriate sites to which links can be made. It also forces the learners to read
more. The third type, class blog, is the result of collaborative effort of an entire
class with some possible uses. 1 It could be used as a free-form bulletin board for learners to post messages,
images, and links related to classroom discussion topics. 2 It might be useful for facilitating project-based language learning.
3 It could be used as a virtual space for an international classroom language exchange.
4 For reading and writing classes, it might involve the use of knowledge management software that allows for a great of threaded discussion behind the
scenes.
