developing hypertext variations with older media in the broader context of

What
has been your experience with blogs as a student?
for me using blog was a challenge in the
begging because I was only exposed to blog here at varsity so for me it was
starting something new, but with help from other students and the use of google
I was able to create a BlogSpot and started sharing ma post on blog, so I had a
hard experience with blogs as a found blogging hard and as something that I
couldn’t do till I found assistance.
3. How
can the effective use of blogs be improved in order to make them a meaningful learning
tool for students?
For blogs to be an effective tool for
learning I think students should try that they use blog in their everyday
activities like the other social media platform to improve their knowledge
about blogs. Lectures should also give students activities that involves
blogging and sharing their blogs with other students so that all students can
take part and discussions on blogs about their education even current social
issues in the country. They can be useful as an opportunity for group projects,
or act as a shared tool for students to develop and present a group assignment
or project. Blogs can be a place where students reflect on reading and where they can practice their writing skills.
