My Reflections on Blogs





During this week as I looked at different Blogs. I found blogging to be a very easy and useful way to maintain a record of your activities. As blogs are now so common they act as important sources of up to date information. Information on a blog is made instantly available as bloggers post new entries. There are many leading academics who actively blog and can provide trustworthy sources of current opinion and information.


People sometimes use blogs to record and reflect on their learning and teaching experiences, whether in the classroom or during observations. Its personal nature facilitates the inclusion of aspects that may lie outside of the usual formal learning and teaching spaces. You can opt to keep the entries private or to allow others to comment on what you've written, thereby encouraging critical reflection. It is a new way of getting feedback by alternate sources.

His pupils eagerly pitch in. Read More http://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/family-education/article/1326478/lamma-kindergarten-heads-outdoors-teach-children-through
