Blogs

New technology can be rather daunting for the digital immigrant and often difficult to incorporate into their daily activities while on the other hand digital natives engage successfully with technology. However, creating a professional blog address is straightforward and simple to accomplish and may be used in a variety of educational settings. There are several links to assist the blogger with designing and using blogs. One can easily see the benefits in education where students will be able to communicate with the author and share ideas about topics. This is very effective with the distance education too where a number of students converse often and they may never actually meet one another.
Blogs are useful for announcements or updates in the course of study. They are fun and relatively easy to use and accessible from anywhere. Learning managers need to engage their students and using this technology may assist them in holding the student’s attention in a more meaningful fashion. Students are able to write authentic and accurate information that is shared on a worldwide web. So in short students are reading and writing more and interacting and socialising with other students.
