Blogging

King of social media

A father of the word ‘weblog’

Started blogging in 2006 as a professional journal at Impressions Scholarcast; volume 1 ‘published’ by Blurb.com in 2009

Student blogging assignments from 053; now 10% of all marks

Encourage students to ‘record additional learning resources, own thoughts and ideas, and achievements throughout the semester’

Universities must recognize this new way of learning and adapt or risk becoming obsolete

Young people today are learning in new ways that are both collective and egalitarian
