Abstract

A new star, blog, in digital learning times will be the most convenient method in the learning. The problems of benchmarking and digital divide have to urgently improve to strengthen the condition that students learn actively and raise education effect. Blog, this newly arisen dissemination influence, is coming. Bill Gates, Microsoft chief executive officer, says Blog becomes the fourth network killer application, except three big service networks, "E-mail", "BBS" and "Instant Messenger". The school education is starting a reform tide, containing like "school organization reconstruction", "school-based management" and "school accountability" and so on. The benchmarking learning will be a quite important key factor. The benchmarking learning emphasizes quality management, keeps on improvement, and achievements promotion...etc. These all will affect education reform. The newly arisen subject in "digital divide" has caused great concerns overseas in recent years. If the speed of information handling is slower than the others, the progress will fall behind in any ways. It will make the learners who are not able to acquire equal information sources be more placed in the position of bad situation.
