The benefits of blogging in education
Richardson (2005) has identified a number of potential benefits of using blogging in the classroom. Such benefits include the promotion of critical and analytical skills, encouraging creative thinking and enabling learners to have a combination of both solitary and social interactive opportunities. Adult learners coming back into education often find that they worry about their ability to adapt and cope with academia and blogging could be a possible way of helping them to overcome such concerns. This is certainly an area I wish to explore further for the next cohort of the Access Health and Caring groups in September 2013. I have realised, through my own learning journey on my blogging course that it is a wonderful way of charting my own development within a given area. The blogging course has really unlocked many ideas about how to adapt the skills I have developed so they can be embedded in some form next September. Thank you Joy for encouraging me and helping me to see the huge potential of blogging.
