My Adventure so far...


Creating and exploring through this blog has been the most enjoyable and educational fun that I have had this term in uni. It has been very interesting to explore the wide world of electronics and technology whilst enjoying myself in the process. The creation of the blog was simple and a lot of fun. To think of a heading and theme was enjoyable and I used the idea of travelling because that is what this blog has been all about; my journey.

Students of nearly all age groups of all age groups could participate in creating blog. The learning manager could post about homework or notices or even notes to the parents at home just to name a few.

Strengths:

·          All students can have fun and get involved
·         The learning manager can monitor what students post about and watch out for any bullying
·         It is a way for students to add their feelings and thoughts to the world

 Weaknesses:

·         Some students might not want to participate in creating a blog
·         Blogger doesn’t have a proper spell checker when creating its posts
·         The learning manager would need to monitor every blog if students had a blog each

 Opportunities:

·          Other students can comment on posts about their own views on things
·         A blog could be a great way for students to create an e-learning journey (just like I have)
·         The learning manager could scaffold activities that the students could do in order to have the best outcomes whilst learning with the blog
      ·         The blog could be used with almost any subject area

 Threats:

·         Students may be able to copy and paste information straight to their blog
·         Anyone can see the blog so the learning manager needs to have parameters in place in order to keep their students safe
·         Students could spend most of their time on making their blog look nice instead of actually putting work into their posts
