1. Blogs allow educators to maintain communication with their students in a way which simplifies accountability of assignment and ensures clarity of intent and instruction, both essential aspects of education.
2. In regards to professional development, blogs allow the user to maintain a digital record of accomplishment and learning.

Congratulations on creating your blog. As you look at the blogs of some of your classmates in order to leave them comments , you will see that it is not necessary to write a blog post in the form of a letter. For future posts it is also not necessary to include the numbers from the syllabus. The ideas is that you are writing for a world audience and those numbers would have no meaning for them.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteGood to see you on your newly-made blog. I think you wrote everything in a lucid style, so it is quite easy to follow. As you said, I am not tech-savvy either, but I hope this blogging experience will be a great help for both of us to teach L2 learners in a clear and efficient way within our future classroom settings. Thanks.
See you.
Jeeyoung
