Relections help to organise our thoughts and link what we have learnt to what we already know. It helps to consolidate what we have learnt.
Writing on weblogs helps to keep our posts organised and may be neater, especially for people who are generally messy. It also helps us to generate more ideas in a way as many of us can type faster than we can write, and this helps to keep us from losing our train of thoughts.
Weblogs allows us to follow up on things that cannot be completed during school curriculum, due to time constraints. This will be helpful, provided all pupils have access to the internet at home, as pupils can continue with their learning on the very same day instead of waiting till the next day, where they might have forgotten some of the things covered the previous day. Teachers can also solicit feedback from pupils, especially those who are very shy in class.
The teacher, however, need to set some ground rules before they start using the weblog as a form of communication and a platform to teach, as some pupils may post up unkind comments of their friends' input.
Therefore much thought and planning has to be put in before teachers decide to embark on the use of such technology.
