Chalk and Blog-board

How can blog help in transforming your classroom into an ultimate learning experience? Is it only just a distraction for the learning-sake of students? Well, it depends on its usage. We are already in the 21st century and typical "sci-fi virtual education" is not a distant imagination anymore. Through educational technology, students are able to advance their studies, wherein blog could be a great help if used beneficially.

First of all, what is a blog? Blog
is a type of website where you can instantly post your writing much likely a diary on that people could read it and make comments. The word blog actually came from the words web and log--putting both together and omitting we- from web... and viola! You got BLOG.

By blogging, you can create a fruitful and systematic organization of everything in your college course. Your professor, with his own blog account, could also post daily or weekly assignments, course-related articles, or lectures for the the whole class' convenience and accurate learning. As you participate in these features, you could jump-start your learning experience and most of all, lessen the hassles of taking down long notes and wasting time on fixing up lectures when you could just sit in front of your computer and gather information with just a click away.
