Commenting on other blogs is a good way to start: a beginner's guide to commenting on blogs and lessons in commenting skills.

While there is a wide range of reasons why educators use blogs; there are four main blogging approaches taken when educators use blogs with students.
These are:
- Class blog only – the educator publishes all the posts on the class blog and the students may respond by leaving comments.
- Class blog only – the educator and students both publish posts on the class blog.

- Class blog and student blogs – the educator publishes all the posts on the class blog and each student has their own individual blog.
