BLOGGING :)

Blogging Course Requirement

I makes blogging a course requirement, not an assignment. The blog is graded as a participation component of the course. Students are not told what to write and they don’t have to meet a specific word count. I believes blogging encourages students to truly write what they understand about a particular subject instead of writing what they think a lecturer wants them to write.
I stated, “Because blogging is so malleable, it’s a wonderful platform for creativity.” Blogging encourages a higher level of reasoning because the focus is more on the process of constructing and evaluating knowledge.
Some lecturer now day believe blogging works best when it’s blended into the curriculum, so the blog posts are an extension of classroom discussions and an inspiration for future conversations in the classroom.
Blogs provide opportunities for shy students to share their thoughts with classmates and their lecturer. It’s also easier for students to create coherent thoughts in writing. Students can take time to think about what they want to write. They can revise their words before posting them, which makes what they have to say more organized and more representative of their thought process when compared to speaking in a class.
Blogs are increasingly used by professors throughout the world to enhance the learning process. Posting their thoughts online is a part of college students’ lives anyway, and blogs are a great way to get them more involved in the class.
Blogs can be used to increase student participation. Students are able to read their fellow classmates’ blog posts and comment on what they have to say. With a blog, unlike a discussion board, it’s the students’ environment – they can take their time to say what they want to say. When used as a tool for reflection, blogs let students write at length about their own experiences as learners.
i hope by using this blog can build good relation between lecturer and student.
