Module 2- Journal Entry (Blogs)


During this module we created a blog and we learnt how to use it. We consistently used the blog that was created as an asynchronous tool. Also, we learnt about the advantages of using blog for teaching and learning, so that our classroom instruction and communication can be improved.

During this module we used platforms such as blogger.com and word press to create a blog. “Blogs are great educational tools and they give students complete freedom to publish content on the web.” Pappas C., (2013, September). Blog writing is formal. Blogs are like online journal. Comments can be left.

I will use blogs to in-cooperate technology with teaching. Students who are absent can have an advantage to keep up to date. Students can participate from anywhere at any time. Blogs promotes the “no child left behind” policy. It’s a good means of communication. Hence, I would in-cooperate this technology when I am planning for my students because it is very effective and the students will be able to practice and improve their skills.

Blogs can be used to improve learning. Blogs can be used to publish assignments and to keep students up to date. Teachers can use it to assist children to master a topic. It also helps the students to improve their writing. Blogs can be used for specific activities example, an upcoming prom. The classroom curriculum can be integrated using blogs. Pappas C., (2013, September). In education blogs are instructional platforms that are referred to as Edu-blogs. They are used for discussion, links to online resources, they can be used to share current events and much more. Richardson J. (2013). Blogs will most definitely improve classroom instruction and communication.
