Blogs: a reflective tool

Blogs are internet-based sites that support the communication and interaction between online hosts. Learning managers incorporate the use of blogs in their learning design to engage learners and encourage a collaborative and connectivist learning environment.
Communicating and engaging learners with online technologies such as blogs, wikis, forums and other communication technologies is a great way to authenticate learning strategies.
Learning managers have the ability to control what content is posted on the blog and can reflect on the learner's progress by following their posts.

Music
This subject requires frequent use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) to engage learners in productive learning. The use of blogs in this subject would positively encourage students to engage in contributing their ideas and opinions on certain music related topics and issues. Incorporating audio and other ICT media is mandatory for authentic learning. Learners have the opportunity to engage with music and understand music concepts as you see and hear it in the real-world.


Learners have the opportunity to reflect on their learning journey by frequently posting their personal and academic progress. Blogs are great reflective and journaling tools that scaffold student's thinking in complex and critical ways.
