Reflection Journal 9

Blogs for Journaling and More!!

This week I wrote my wiki text for class on how Blogging is an excellent way to journal for personal knowledge construction. Blogging is a great newer technology that enables educators to expand learning by the use of blogs. Originally Blogs were used to tract the pages on the World Wide Web but today they are used for every topic imaginable.

As an educator today many teachers are turning to Blogs for classroom discussions , journaling, responses to images and much more. This type of writing is giving students an wonderful opportunity to improve not only writing skills but high level thinking.

Blogging is a great addition to the concept of constructivism. Students can organize group work and write and respond back and forth on the internet through the use of blogs. I am a big fan and hope more teacher start to implement the use of blogs in the classroom.
