Abstract: This study explored the perceptions of Grade 9 students on the use of blogs in learning Social Studies, focusing on their access to computer and internet, ease of use, and how blogging supports their learning. Grade 9 students participated by completing tasks and reflections on blogs. A validated researcher-made questionnaire and selected interviews were used to gather data. Results showed that most students found blogging easy to use, especially when uploading assignments and adding links. They appreciated the flexibility it offered and the chance to communicate with their teacher through the comment section. However, some students experienced difficulty in navigating blog features, showing a need for proper orientation. Blogging was also seen as helpful in increasing students’ interest and engagement in the subject. Most students relied on school facilities due to limited internet access at home. Overall, blogging supported student learning when combined with clear instructions and access to technology, making it a practical tool not only in Social Studies but also in other subjects.
