This research aims to develop weblog media about environmental contamination material to determine the reflective thinking skills of junior high school students. The development of a weblog as a learning medium used the ADDIE model. In this research up to the development phase. The weblog design has gone through the validation phase. The validation was performed by 4 validators using a validation sheet. Student responses were collected using a questionnaire and reflective thinking skills using a multiple-choice test. The developed weblog has been tested on 20 students of 8<sup>th</sup> grade. The results showed that the use of blogging media positively impacted students' reflective thinking skills, given the increase in mean pre-test and post-test scores from a score of 69.5 to 82. The increase in reflective thinking skills was seen in of the three indicators of reflective thinking, namely <em>reacting</em> from 79% to 81,5% in the high category, <em>elaborating</em> from 50% in the low category to 75% in the high category, and <em>contemplating</em> from 67% in normal category to 78,4% in the high category. The use of blogging media to reinforce thinking skills is also supported by the results of student responses with an average result of 92,8% for aspects of reflective thinking
