Getting Started
Why faculty use Blogs
Blogs promote critical thinking and writing skills. They allow for the continuation of discussions outside the walls of the classroom and are an easy-to-use collaboration tool. Students can blog on virtually any topic, from the latest class readings to their experience in a clinical setting, student teaching, or studying abroad. Blogs work well as a means of student participation, especially in totally online courses.
