Setting up my blog was the first task which i undertook this week. I found this a rather fun experience as it gave me the chance to create my very own design and layout while giving me the options of colours and texts to be used also. I feel that a blog is rather similair to a journal with the only difference being that it accessible to anyone and everyone depending on whether the blog is private or not. I found it interesting having a look at other students profiles and getting an idea into what their thoughts and ideas were.
Using a blog in the classroom can be very beneficial in many ways as it can be used for students on a daily basis to jot down everything which they may have learnt or found interesting throughout the lesson/day. I liked the idea also in one of the examples which suggested that a tutor could get on the blog and provide both support and education outside of the classroom.
In my teaching area (H.P.E) I could definitely use Blogs as a tool for my students. A lot of the assessment in P.E requires group tasks. Students could use their blogs to share their ideas whilst me as a teacher could monitor their progress rather easily.
