Re: Blitz games
It can be. Playing blitz is good for developing your chess instincts, which may be what said beginners need.

Re: Blitz games
Blitz games can be useful at any level but they're not a substitute for longer time controls with some serious thinking. One of the problems with quick-play games is that it's very easy to come to rely on your instinctual move and then to forego the deep thinking. Blitz can make you lazy if you let it.
