Throughout this blogging process I questioned its necessity. Similar to all social networking sites, blogging is something that you have to get used to. I don’t write in a journal regularly nor do I keep up with a diary, but I definitely think reflection exercises are helpful to release stress: good and bad. (Reduce Stress Through Journaling).
Blogging also helps to memorize information. You can reemphasize what you already know and ponder what you would still like to learn; similar to KWL. How to Memorize Effectively).
Once I build the opportunity to blog regularly, I would like to try video blogging. I was watching a reality show the other day and one of the stars ended her day with her video blog. (How to Video Blog).
I thought to myself; why not incorporate this concept (blogs and video blogs) into the educational field? I was highly entertained on the different sites that I’ve discovered in my blogging process and all the information that I’ve gained.
From my experience, blogs are worth it; they have what it takes.
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI also think that blogs are worth it. However, it is difficult to find the time to post. Like you, I can clearly see there value in the classroom. I have been begging the school to open up our schools' StudyWiz blog feature to no avail. As long as students can blog in a safe environment, I am all for it.
Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI am interested in your post especially with the video blogs. I think it would be a great tool for homework assignment for my students. Some of my students do media as a course. I am sure they would be interested in adding videos to their blogs. Great posts!
