A New Approach of e-Learning Education Using Blogging

By  Veselina Nedeva and Dimitar Nedev

 

E-learning refers to anything delivered, enabled, or mediated by electronic technology for the explicit purpose of learning. The term 'e leaming is often assumed to be synonymous with learning using interactive self-study materials, but is in fact a much wider concept, including the online sharing of all sorts of electronic content and online communication between learners and tutors, as well as the use of computers to deliver learning content offline using media such as CD-ROM,

 

Digital technologies were a way of life in the 21st century and it was important that children were prepared for the future by acquiring ICT skills as part of their education. Asynchronous online tools such as forums and blogs play a major part in many formal distance learning courses, but can also be used on an ongoing basis to facilitate discussion and provide support. Since Blogger was launched in 1999, blogs have reshaped the web, impacted politics, shaken up journalism, and enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others.

 

A blog is a website that acts as an online journal, a place to post information, and a way to keep in touch with others. A blog can be used as an important tool for networking and sharing tips or news with other teachers, dispersing information to your students, and keeping parents abreast of what is happening in your classroom [5]. The readers can comment on the writings, either agreeing or disagreeing with the author. This is an effective and useful way to share your ideas, gather tips from others experiences, and mingle with fellow educators from all over the world. The blog can also be used as a classroom management.

 

A blog (a contraction of the term "web log) is a type of a website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse- chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

 

A blog entry optionally includes the following: Categories (or tags)-subjects that the entry discusses; Trackback-links to other sites that refer to the entry: A blog site typically contains a list of links, or blogroll, of other blogs that the blog author reads or affiliates with.
