Week One Reflection

I start my reflection by suggesting this article to read about blogs and wikis

As I mentioned on my Nicenet post the issue is not how to create a learning blog but how to make it survive and keep yourself motivated to go on !! 

What I liked is sharing and clarifying rubrics from beginning. I think the best idea here is to introduce blogs as a part of the course tasks and assessment rubric because many of us are busy and have many work duties that may prevent them from doing so.

I had experience with blogs since 2010 but failed because I teach large classes and I had no responses from neither students nor colleagues and I was not allowed to make it as a part of the course so I can post assignments or ask them for reflection because the majority of our students dont have internet access at home or in campus. However, I felt unjust to discriminate them and deal only with a few students who do.
