I never heard of a "blogroll" before this, but creating a list of links that give students access to other sites within a blog is a great way to broaden their understanding and curiosity on a particular topic.

Blogging is useful for online learning.

The idea of blogging is a concept I never considered.  I use discussions in most of my online classes.  The rules are very similar to netiquette rules I teach my students. I believe it is important to teach our students these types of rules and demonstrate how they should walk them out. I learned there are different ways to assess blogs compared to discussions.  Quality of content is more important than quantity of content.

Blogging is an important concept to help a student grow in there learning, share ideas and opinions on a topic.  It helps an Instructor see how much progress a student is making on the topic.

The exploration of Module 4 on blogging has been illuminating, particularly in understanding how blogs serve as a dynamic tool for online courses. Blogs, distinct from conventional websites, offer a flexible and interactive platform for publishing diverse content including text, artwork, and links. The chronological setup of blog entries, which supports real-time updates and community interaction through comments, makes it an excellent resource for educational settings. This adaptability not only facilitates a more engaging learning environment but also bridges the gap between formal education and personal expression, providing students with a space to reflect, critique, and enhance their learning journey.

Applying the insights gained from this module, I plan to integrate blogging more strategically within my teaching methodologies to leverage its full potential. By using blogs as a digital space for students to articulate and develop their ideas, I can foster a more participative and reflective learning atmosphere. Blogs will serve not just as a platform for assignment submission but as a living archive of student progress and a forum for peer-to-peer engagement. This approach will not only enrich students' academic experience but also equip them with critical digital literacy skills, preparing them for the complexities of the modern information landscape. This practical application aims to transform passive learners into active contributors, enhancing both their academic success and personal growth.

Blogging is a great way for students to interact.  It is less formal than an on line discussion and allows students to comment more freely while still following the guidelines of a rubric.

Blogging will save student content in a portfolio for effective assessments.
