BlogBooker is a very cool and free web2.0 tool . It allows you to “ produce a high-quality PDF blog book from all your blog entries and comments . Archives can be generated from any blog running on Wordpress, Blogger , Live Journal and its derivatives . The whole process takes about 3 to 4 minutes depending on the size of your blog.”

Application of BlogBooker in Education

I think it is a very good idea to use Blog booker with your students . Introduce it to them and show them how they can use it to turn blog posts into PDFs . Provide them with blog and website urls and let them print the articles that you think might help them in their learning . They can also use it to save PDF books of educative blogs that they can check offline . As soon as they have a saved portable copy of a blog , then they can access its content without the need of internet connection .
