Blogging is a not-so-new trend that has been added to a type of scholarly activity that is being used by professors, universities, students, and people world around. I like that a blog can be shared and get immediate reaction, but it does not have to stop there. It can be added to a presentation or article to further share the information. There are many types of blogging besides just writing. It could be through YouTube, a podcaster, or Scoop.it. With institutional reputations being largely created, many institutions are now making it a priority to develop, recognize, and encourage practices such as blogging.
Although blogging is only a week old idea for me, I have concluded it is a very good for all students to experience. Blogging may not give the the same accreditation that writing journals, books, producing online courses does, but it could have a positive effect on students. What I like best about blogging is everyone can do it! It could be done on almost anything including personal experiences, opinions, research data, interests, or news. Since writing is not the favored thing for students to do I would find blogging to be a fun alternative to have students expand on ideas or feelings on specific topics.
