David Warlick uses his online blog to inform and update people about education in many ways. His posts include articles and reflections associated with education. A blog such as this can be used in the classroom to inform the students on different assignments in the classroom. Also, a teacher can post blog entrys to help students become more aware of how education affects our daily life by using examples of various articles and websites.

Blogs can be used as a great teaching tool because it allows students to be exposed to many aspects of education that is not limited to the local level. A teacher can pull information from around the world into the classroom to help the children see the effects at a larger scale. Blog can also be used as a tool in the classroom that allows group projects. Blogs can be linked to one another by allowing students to follow each others post. This aids students by allowing them to view each others blogs to compare and contrast. As a teacher I would have each student create a blog and allow the student to follow other students in the class. The students would be able to share information about things that interest them. This is a great tool for inquiry - based learning.
