Blogging refers to a series of entries with limited word count. Several anecdotal reports focus on the potential advantages (e.g., increasing students' writing, reflecting, collaborating, participation and critical thinking skills) of blogging in education. Yet limited reports discuss its challenges. We argue that in order to better understand the use of blogging in the classroom we need to look more closely at students’ values, beliefs and expectations. Thus, to better understand teaching and learning and evaluate blogging we used Gesler’s theory of therapeutic landscape. Students’ retrospective accounts revealed two overarching themes: students’ experiences and students’ responses to blogging. Despite the fact that students experienced and valued blogging in their everyday lives, their responses to in-class blogging were not always positive.enCopyrights for articles are retained by the authors, with first publication rights granted to the journal/publisher.
