I read Anne Davis's Edublog Insights which provides great outlines and guidelines an instructor may use to create a reflective blog in education. I used to teach English in a middle school in China but I only wrote something about my personal life in my blog at that time. But still many students visisted my blog to read my posts, view pictures, and left comments. I think it is at least a good tool to build up the rapport with the students.
Now I realize that a blog can also be used in teaching and learning. I am teaching ESL reading class this semester, and I'd like to try some activities, for example, online readings, Internet resources including YouTube videos related to the topics covered in the lecture. The best thing about the blog, I believe, is that it can be created and organized according to these topics with a clear timeline. My students may leave comments and ask questions as well.
