Blogging Helps Improve Your Learning

Many students around New Zealand have an online blog that shows what they have been learning at the school they go to. Many people around the world look at this information and they use this information to teach their own students. Most students write these posts themselves with a little help from the teacher and their peers. Believe it or not blogging can actually help you improve your learning when you blog each time. Here are a few reasons why.




Firstly, peers and teachers can give you feedback on your work. Giving feedback can help you by giving ideas on what you could do to make it better and if you have a few mistakes you can fix up. Taking feedback into mind is a good thing because if you ever make that mistake in future posts you can see what you have done wrong, fix it and make an amazing blog post that your peers can see. It also means that people have actually seen your work and want to say something about it which is polite. Peer commenting can also make you see someone else's point of view and why they could’ve said that to help you.




Secondly it helps you see what other schools have been doing and how they have been doing it. All schools have different ways of teaching their students and what they teach. Blogging helps students improve their learning because when they see what other students have done it makes the students motivated to do better than what they normally do. It also helps teacher because they can get more ideas on how and what they can teach their students and how they can make it fun. When students see that their work is fun it motivates them and they will want to blog about it.




Lastly blogging can help you by checking your grammar and your spelling to see if you have written it right. When you write a blogpost most times you will spell something wrong. You can always ask someone if you have written it right and if no one is there you can check if you have spelt it right by clicking an option on the tools area. When getting feedback, peers can write about some misspelled words or punctuation that is needed.




There are lots of different reasons why blogging helps improve your learning. These are what I think are the most important reasons that you or anyone should take into mind. Remember, anyone can see what you have written so make sure that you think before you write and post a blogpost
