I would get students to use a blog to reflect on what they do or learn.They could follow their peers blog and hopefully this would encourage students to discuss points or make comments. Getting any students to write outside of the college would be beneficial but students would need to carefully compose their messages and possibly proof read before submitting comments.
Blogs can be used to promote reading and discussion all which are good tools in literacy and language development. Students who are commenting, are also thinking about their responses, so must are being encouraged to synthesise the application.
Blogs are a more exciting method of completing work. A slight drawback would be if you did not start the blog you have limited access to edit the information i.e. spellings, grammar etc. It would an excellent collaboration exercise for proof reading and students could post their comments about the blog i.e. pointing out corrections etc.
Very good idea. Need to be used in the right context.
Sharing good practice
