This document summarizes a study on the benefits of classroom blogging. The study examined one classroom blog created by a veteran math teacher for his Pre-Calculus class. The blog had 30 student posts, 11 teacher posts, and 26 student comments. The results of the study supported claims from literature that blogs can promote learning, reflection, collaboration and accountability. However, the authors note that one case study may not represent results for all teachers using blogs. The summary concludes by posing questions for further research on classroom blogging since the original study was conducted over 10 years ago.Tips to increase student engagement
