That is what blogs are really all about: not merely another way in
which “ordinary” people can publish their views, but a means
whereby just about anyone can contribute to an ongoing
“conversation” in which knowledge is both discovered and constructed
as it goes on. Blogs improve communication with students, parents,
and colleagues.
• The Learner Blog is the third type of blog and it requires more
time and effort from the teacher to both set up and moderate,
but is probably the most rewarding. It involves giving each
student an individual blog. The benefit of this is that this
becomes the student's own personal online space. Students can
be encouraged to write frequently about what interests them,
and can post comments on other students' blogs. For examples,
see the links to learner blogs from the class blog and tutor blog
examples above. www.vickylearningenglish.blogspot.com an
example of a 4 year old English language learner.
