Using a Blog for Reflective Learning


A blog is basically on online journal and a great way to reflect on personal, professional, and academic activities. It is an excellent tool to document and record your thoughts and opinions. You can create your own personal, free blog and invite people to follow or even contribute to your blog. What a great way to get conversation started! Blogs allow students to do journaling online which means they can access their blog from almost anywhere and can easily communicate with people all over the world. Blogs are ideal for logging your progress, your thoughts on reflection, and suitable for collaboration.

So far, I have learned a lot with our initial blogging assignment. I have become familiar with Blogger and am now able to do a few things I didn't know how to do before such as add surveys and insert a picture with a post. I've also had to be cognizant of my layout and design so that it is appealing to the readers. As I continue to add contributors, I look forward to collaborating on the topic of technology integration and blogging.
