The blog reflections, as a journal, allow people to view my blog and provide relevant feedback to my work which helps me self-assess my ideas and concepts. I like the style of a journal blog because it is informal and not all in academic writing which gives my fellow peers’ a quick and easy read, but still engages the main ideas and concepts of the theories. I also, found that using a journal style blog has been very rewarding in the fact that I can read others and make sure that I am on the right track with my work.
Also, I can critique what others thought worked and what didn’t work for them. However, I do find that there are many distractions while working on a blog or on a webpage, there are links to too many different sources and that sometimes caused me to procrastinate and not focus on the task at hand. Although, the benefit with the blogs and moodle site is that everything is accessible and easy to use, it is right at your fingertips.
Contructivism is used in the blog reflections; I applied new information and knowledge to my own personal experiences and collaborated with other students which in return helped me to comprehend this new knowledge. I found that I constructed my own learning and knowledge by using the blog as a reflection journal.
I used cognitivism in this activity by reading the course materials and participating in the activities which has provided me with the relevant content. Within my blog I can evaluate and reflect on the knowledge that I have learnt. The blog allows me to develop a cognitive constructivism approach, gaining schemas and then applying the knowledge to form experience with it.
With behaviourism, I found that the blog was my own personal journal which, through constant logging in and clicking on the tools to get a desired result, helped me to learn how to use my blog. Through repetition to discover the links within my blog, this developed my knowledge in what I can do with my blog.
Connecting to the material and finding the vital information was critical for my reflections on activities and tasks within my blog. I still think that the other learning theories are vital for learning new information. Even though I can find the right information, I still need to be able to understand and respond to it.
I believe that using a blog as a journal of your learning journey meets the diverse range of students because each student can create their blog to suit their learning style; whether it is appealing to their learning style of visual and/or auditory. Students can refer back to previous discussions and students can demonstrate within their blog an understanding of their learning experiences. A great place to vent.
By using a blog as a journal and reflecting on activities and tasks can be very helpful for gaining, applying and analysing work. Also, collaborating with other students through a learning space, that is their own, can give them the opportunity to experience independence and autonomy within their learning. It promotes High Order Thinking and I can create home work tasks for them to post on their blog and this will engage the digital native.
As an online e-learning strategy this is a useful tool for engaging and collaborating ideas with others. It gives students a space to express and reflect on their learning’s. Without a running blog it would be extremely difficult to collaborate on ideas with others and get a sense of teamwork. You would feel very alone within the course.
