The blog gave me somewhere to post my activities and gave me a supportive foundation to showcase my findings for others to see and provide feedback and guidance.
Constructing your own content to fit in your blog rather than just reading information and regurgitating it, you apply it to your own personal learning site.
A blog goes through a cognitive stage developing each memory through the use of the revised Blooms taxonomy; remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating and creating.
Repeat use of the blog and posting information creates a sense of achievement within the blog and promotes more postings which is a behaviourist learning theory.
Blogs can easily connect the learner to other links within the blogs and other student blogs, which is a scaffolding technique that supports your learning and can connect you with the accurate content.
Allowing students to be creative within their blogs but still acknowledging certain theories and educational patterns. The blog is a scaffold for being able to openly collaborate on ideas with other students.
You get to scaffold your own blog reflections in your desired way, some people scaffold videos and links while others use diagrams and pictures.
Scaffolding reflections in a blog enables students to put there ideas across and share them without anyone else changing their work which the wiki’s can do.
