Blogging
Blogs are ’web logs’ and they’re effectively an online diary or record of events. Blogs can be individual or group, where a number of people contribute. They can be used for example to keep a factual record or as a tool for reflection. For educational purposes they might be allied to a particular task or assignment and have specific learning outcomes associated with them. The material here will explain the nature of blogging, give you some ideas of how you or your students might use blogs in your teaching and give practical advice on how to set a blog up. There are also examples and case studies that show how blogs can be used in practice.
