It's true! I enjoy blogging. It is a great way
to share your thoughts, learning, and even collaborate with peers. They can
leave comments and discussions for one another providing feedback and
suggestions for improvement. Often times, in education, students are not given
the opportunity to share their writings. This is a perfect way for students to
do this. If they are shy or embarrassed that they will sound unintelligent,
they can post their writings or class reflections on a blog and their peers can
provide feedback, or visa versa.
It would also be
easier for teachers to provide feedback in a quicker manner. With mobile
technology, teachers can eliminate carrying multiple papers and thus releasing
the liability of lost assignments. I think students can even post full
documents, or at least provide a link to Google Docs or something so others can
read their writing.
Because I will be
teaching math, I see my students using blogs to post their reflections on their
learning. If they were confused about a certain topic, hopefully another
student would take the opportunity to teach the struggling student. Sometimes a
student can say the same thing the teacher did, but to the confused child, the
words are different and they often reach to true comprehension. It would be
wonderful for students to track their learning through a blog!
