Web Blog

Blog is a useful place for people to make reflections and summarize what they have learned. People can post texts, images and add links to them. In the assignment, we are required to set up our own blog and post our introduction and reflections in it. Blog is familiar to me and I actually have set up several blogs by myself in both Blogger and WordPress.

After this assignment, I think I have a deeper understanding of the feature and usefulness of blogs. Blogs indeed offer us a good forum to present our information and share with others. In posting our understanding and reflection, we can also get a deeper understanding of the subject we have just presented. We can also read and make comments on others’ blogs so that we can communicate with each other and share the latest knowledge and information. Designing the blog is also very interesting. We don’t have to know the HTML or codes and we can just simply post the texts in the blog. There are also more features I learned in designing the blogs. For example, we can also embed the chat room in it or put some other interesting gadgets like clock, calendars, slideshows, etc.

I strongly advocate the use of blog in education. Students can summarize all their learning and development in the blog and they can also share with each other on what they have learned or what lesson they have learned from their failure. The use of blog in education will also make study more interesting and students would be better engaged in their learning.
