BLOG: it is ‘weblog’ in short

BLOG POSITIVESAs a student, you might use a blog to- Share experiences with other students- Improve group communication- Keep track of research – it is a place to store

ideas, links, references- Help your writing, making sure your

arguments are clear and concise

In a didactic blog you can…Develop reflective writing, gaining insight into

your thought at a particular moment – you could revisit the entries at a later date and reflect on what you have learnt

Explore links between your own experiences and the theories you might study on your courses
