Blogging has become beyond the idea of recording information in a digital format to the greater engagement of learners who are interested in the same topic. Thinking in using blogs creates a glorious learning environment that poses several questions. The first on that comes to my mind is that "do our students have the needed sense of responsibility regarding his own way of thinking and writing style? Then, what are the successful mechanisms of the teacher to follow up on the blogs of his students? Moreover, who we can deal with our fears for this new technology?
In our discussions, we should focus on how to develop the content our future blogs, and how we could use it: as a method for reading or evaluation or to present the course material or module. We should realize that the blogs should be suitable for students, and provide simplified information rather than just a wall to display thoughts. It could be implemented as projects to show how a student understands their colleagues and teacher as well, vies versa. From my experience, it could be a great help for learners who have difficulty in expressing their responses to an oral form and allowed them to summarize what they know and what they want to say. Finally, it is Free.
