Summary/Abstract: E-learning swiftly evolved to m-learning, which relies on mobile technology. Thus, the weblog continuously contains the blogger and education becomes edutainment). Teachers can permanently maintain contact with their students offering feed-back on their blogs and initiating discussions. If coordinated, the activity on personal blogs becomes reflection in action. The blog functions as a platform of interaction and becomes an e-portfolio. With the help of mobile technologies, bloggers can easily improve the content of their e-portfolios and take account of every valuable suggestion they receive. In their turn, as members of a large creative community, they are supposed to offer feed-back to their colleagues’ uploaded materials. As the weblog is an open sphere, almost everybody can interact and take part at different debates, irrespective of age and professional background. Such openness encourages students to defend and consider their intellectual output.
