Abstract

Web logs, better known as BLOGS, are currently used in traditional and online classrooms by both students and faculty members. In many college courses today, time constraints prohibit students from participating in personal reflection about the subject matter. This paper explores how blogs are being used as a supplement to the traditional classroom experience as well as how they can be used in online classes as a tool for students to write about what they have learned in class and how it applies to everyday life. Additionally, the paper will look at ways that blogs could be used in any classroom setting by students and faculty members who may or may not have a strong technology background.
