Because of the asynchronous aspect of blogging it is better to view blogging as a learning tool. Teaching requires a more direct interaction between student and teacher. Interaction could be achieved to some extent though the comment section but it probably would be very awkward at best.
Learning though a blog would be independent and self-paced. For the most part very informal and low structured. One could pick and choose which topics in the blog to follow. Most blogs are not intended to be an outright teaching or learning tool so any teaching and learning that does take place is often overlooked and ends up being added to the “life’s experience mix”.
Because blogs are linear in their postings, it is somewhat hard to search content. One can liken it to a game of trivia pursuit or a treasure hunt. In either case there is a lot of informal information that can be gleaned from blogs is one take some time to look for it.
