The journey continues
I’ve just been reading through some of the blogs nominated for the Edublog awards – what a great way to find out about blogging! I’m reading the blog of proximinal development http://www.teachandlearn.ca/blog/ which has extended my understanding of the educational advantages of blogging. I had thought of it as a reflective tool, but it also has potential to build a social context. Students are writing, not only for themselves and their teacher (as it is in the case of a traditional essay) but for their classmates (and the world at large) which adds an extra dimension to their writing and takes the focus away from the teacher as guru.
