This document discusses how blogging can be used as a tool for reflective practice by teachers. It encourages teachers to reflect on, evaluate, and improve their professional knowledge and practice through blogging. Blogging allows teachers to build an online community for reflection, learn from others, articulate their beliefs and thoughts, and refine their ideas. While blogging is highlighted, the document also notes that other online tools like Twitter, podcasts, and social networks can also foster reflection, learning, support, and collaboration for educators. It recognizes that reflective blogging may not be for everyone, as some teachers are more comfortable reflecting in other ways.
