Blogs

The blog is also used as a tool for communication. The very popular communication tool being used in classrooms right now are blogs. These online writing spaces are often included as a tool available in many virtual learning environments (VLE's). A common method used by teachers is to create a classroom blog as a shared space for members of the classroom community. The general aim of the classroom blog is to generate student discussion, often in response to a teacher-generated statement or question. This is a great way to give a voice to students who would otherwise be uncomfortable stating their opinions verbally in the classroom. Blogs can also be used to see what students already know and what their misconceptions are about a particular topic, to generate interest in an upcoming lesson, to provide a platform for student debate, and also to supply students with feedback from their classmates and teacher.

The Light House: Thinking Activity

To the Lighthouse: Virginia Woolf                    1. How can you explain that 'what' Virginia Woolf wanted to say (for example, the complexity of human relationship, the everyday battles that people are at in their relationship with near and dear ones, the struggle of a female artist against the values of middle/upper-class society etc) can only be said in the way she has said?
