| The blog has just assembled in the sound of different judgments on into a strong trend and swept across the whole world since its inception. In recent years, mass teachers'plunge with enthusiasm makes blogs be widely used and develop great potentials in the educational fields and arouses the attention from numerous researchers too. This brand-new life style, working method, learning mode and communication pattern, brings a whole new impact to teachers. How it influences the teachers'growth and development, it is the original intention that I study.This paper chooses teacher Tao Chuan, who acts actively on the internet and his blog"Youyou Liaoliao (chat leisurely) as the research subjects. It tries to find out Tao Chuan's state behind the blog, researches deeply and makes systematic review on blog's significance of improving its self-development by studying the specific case, and tracking researching on Tao Chuan and her blog. This research stresses on teacher's attention to his / her own meanings, emphasizes the importance of correct cognition and appraisal to his / her own educational practice by using blogs. Then to realize teacher's social interaction on the Net, culture his / her altruistic and open spirit of cooperation, thus to improve the teacher's professional level, promote the awakening of teacher's self-consciousness, and finally satisfy with the occupational values and values in life.This paper tries to find out the blog's influences on Tao Chuan's growth up by carrying out the narrative research on Tao Chuan's blog (a journal) and blogger (Tao Chuan). The writer adopts the method of narrative research is because it and this subject can correspond with each other. By reading, sorting out, analyzing, classifying her dairies on the blog, and observing her teaching practice and self-examination in life, the deep discussion and study on Tao Chuan's blog and her life not only simply describes the"objective world", but also probes into Tao Chuan's inner world, and then to"understand"and"comprehend"the world, and finally make a study conclusion from bottom to top and a research approach for recording the research as a narrative report.I began the real contact with Tao Chuan since June 2006. In order to reproduce the actual situation vividly, reflect the authenticity of the researcher's personal experiences, I began to enter Tao Chuan's teaching and life situations, attended her classes and got along with her in life. Therefore, the research course is launched around three aspects: the on-the-spot experience text (dairy record), field work and text studying. In this course, the visual angle that I observe and analyze focuses on how the blog influences Tao Chuan's professional development and her self growth and development, and the values and its meanings reflected by the blog. It also fully reflects the essential characteristics of the teacher, as being a human, one can reflect his / her own abundant experience when his / her profession grows and develops.The meaning in which the blog exists is to finish the personal salvation. The blog belongs to one's own at first, so he / she will be the beneficiary. It lies in making oneself mediating, understanding, self-discovering and self-portraying through the blog. The pedagogical meaning of the blog lies in further strengthening the Internet's function of communication, accumulation, sharing and exchange etc., making it more individualization, openness and instance, and developing information sharing into resource sharing, idea sharing, life history sharing. Tao Chuan is such a best example.The blog life of Tao Chuan told us: the emergence and development of the blog technology provide a basis for the development of her specialty and growth. Tao Chuan's blog is a platform for knowledge management, action research, professional leading and cooperation. It is not only of the function of storing and classifying the database knowledge, but also of the function of sharing and communication. It is also a space filled with color of personality, from the content to the form, it is easy for management, looking up and communication. The blog shows Tao Chuan's life interests, cultural connotation, thinking attainment, personality sentiment and individual character charms etc. Therefore, the blog is not only the great motive force for Tao Chuan's specialty development, but also a kind of self-conscious diversified explorative activity and process for daily life. The blog sets up a new stage for Tao Chuan's specialty development, and also it is an effective carrier for realizing her specialty development, and plays the function of adding fuel to the flames in her development.Tao Chuan's blog experience and life bring such feelings to me: Tao Chuan's experience of blog life is the course of study, accumulation and even growth. Even though there is impacts of bewilderment, contradiction, helplessness and confusion in the experience, this course and experience are vivid and happy, they make Tao Chuan pay close attention to education and life.
