Use Blogging in Learning



I in my opinion , I realize that blogs don’t have to be everything but the potential of blogs to lead students to become reflective, life-long learners who want to share and communicate with an audience to make meaning of the world is quite amazing.  So teachers by using blogs with students can promote student self-assessment by providing opportunities for students to think and talk about what they are learning. By encouraging them to evaluate their own progress. Teachers are empowering students to reflect on themselves as learners” (2006, Joseph).

Moreover, Blogs, like the one we have done for this course, allow for this type of reflection. Encourage interaction. Blogging should not be a solo activity. Encourage bloggers to read each other’s works and to comment on them. Encouraging students to set up an RSS reader with each other’s blogs will make reading and commenting a lot easier.

My opinion about blog

In my opinion, the blogging is an interesting place.  One can find blogs for all subjects and all walks of life. Others, around the world, can engage either actively or passively.  Although, even if the readers just are looking at the blog, they too are getting something out of it.  Participants of blogs whether reading, writing or commenting gain experience in our technological world .

Moreover, I find writing for a blog a bit scary knowing that the whole world can see the information, comment and assess your ideas and thoughts.  In addition, this is also can be positive.  You can get feedback about your thoughts and ideas.  Therefore, your writing might get better over time since you are writing more.  The idea of writing more and more is said to increase your skills.  Practice makes perfect. I only hope that mine will too. So blog writing comes in every shape and size from lists, to paragraphs to lengthy essays.
