Blog Reflection

Hi All,

Today I need to create a reflection on the use of blogs within my teaching areas of Health and Physical Education and Geography.

SWOT analysis:

Strengths

• Blogs can help students learn from other peoples opinions
• Blogs assist students in communicating with their peers in an online conversation 
• Creates self learning
• Helps students compare running/swimming times with similar aged peers around the world
• Helps students learn and compare climate with students in other countries

Weaknesses

• Cyber bullying
• Inappropriate content and comments
• Time management for students

Opportunities

• Allows students to interact with students from other countries
• Students can be creative in their blog designs
• Students can learn from each other
• Students can link movies, pictures and clips 

Threats

• Blogs are accessible to all Internet users making them potentially unsafe

The use of blogs are a good way for students to learn and communicate with each other.
