Use of blogs for a PLN

Using a blog as a Personal Learning Network will lend itself to text that allows the students to create more thinking about a topic or a passion. Blogs also allow a range of multimedia to be embedded in the post so that students have a variety of ways to express their ideas and their understanding of the world. I love the idea of following other students blogs, so that students can learn to reflect on others points of view.

  1. I do like blogs for the same reason as you mentioned, because of their capability to incorporate multimedia.

  2. I agree, too. Blogs can be very useful for students when using multimedia. I like the idea of each of my students creating a blog so that the whole class can follow and join in on the discussion.
