Postive blogging

Blogs provide a way of capturing part of what is in the mind of a learner and their responses to experiences. Through language learners make sense of what they are learning and blogs provide an opportunity to reflect and makes sense of information as they write it down and share it with others.

Students learn how to deepen their understanding of learning by writing down what they learn in their own words.



Torill Mortensen and Jill Walker (2002) who wrote in their excellent essay 'Blogging thoughts' that:

"From a junior scholar's point of view, blogging can be an excellent method for developing and sustaining a confident and clear voice of one's own and the ability to formulate and stand by opinions.…Writing in a blog one is forced to confront one's own writing and opinions and to see them reflected in the words of others".
