BlogsBlogs a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style. Blogs open up
a wide arena for instructors and students to share reflect, publish, improve skills, server others, own their own PD, relate to students and share student work.
The first step to determining whether or not the tool being used is the fit for the learning process. Blogging has the ability to enhance student’s self-awareness and processing
concepts, the use of a blog in the classroom can only be implemented when there are "concepts for students to think through, various resources and content segments to process, or
ideas to construct.
Blogs are also individual tools for learners. They also shift the students into analyzing and synthesizing course materials....and with the appropriate planning curriculum. blogs can be
used to improve student writing, especially for developing skill in analysis and critique. “The blog format is particularly useful for shorter, less formal, assignments. Blog platforms
allow for inclusion and display of multimedia, which may offer an advantage over paper submissions. Blogs provide a means for student response to or discussion of outside-of-class
readings that are not adequately covered during class. They can be useful as a forum for group projects, or act as a collaborative authoring tool for students to develop and present a
group assignment or project. Blogs can be a place where students reflect on readings, much as analog journaling was used as a pedagogical tool in the past.” (II Library)
Blogs
WikisWikis are online communities created to share
knowledge. The most common wiki that most
people have heard of is Wikipedia. The
knowledge is grown by the contributors of the
site, and companies will use wikis to complete
training or to update processes. Companies will
also use wikis to provide customer support
online that is constantly updated by users and
employees to provide a higher level of
customer service. Like most social learning
tools, wikis are not bound by geography. Wikis
have been known to allow users to collaborate
on a problem to find a solution.
Facebook communityFacebook Community pages allow end-users to engage with groups that share similar interest. According to "Connecting To Everything You Care
About" (2016), "Community Pages are a new type of Facebook Page dedicated to a topic or experience that is owned collectively by the community
connected to it. Just like official Pages for businesses, organizations and public figures, Community Pages let you connect with others who share
similar interests and experiences.
On each Community Page, you'll be able to learn more about a topic or an experience—whether it's cooking or learning a new language—and see
what your friends and others in the Facebook community are saying about this topic. Community Pages are still in beta, but our long-term goal is to
make them the best collection of shared knowledge on a topic. We're starting by showing Wikipedia information, but we're also looking for people
who are passionate about any of these topics to sign up to contribute to the Page. We'll let you know when we're ready for your help.” (para. 3-4).
