Abstract

The use of blogs in K-12 and higher education has been documented only recently. However, such papers rarely discuss the pros and cons of blogging or compare it with other viable alternatives such as threaded online discussion forums. This proposed study will document the implementation and evaluation of incorporating blogging into PIHnet, an in-service teacher education program. This study aims to not only add to the pool of knowledge on educational blogging, but also suggest a framework of evaluation for educational blogging in general.
