BLOGS ARE THE NEW
PLATFORMS FOR THE LEARNERS
Blogs are related to
communication dynamics .In
blogs,all information put in order in the hierarchical basis
,bound within the subject and the
organisation .A blog should be distributed ,aggreated ,open and independent.Through the use of blogs ,it is suggested that,teachers and
the students are becoming empowered ,motivated ,creative and reflective and connected practitioners in new knowledge environments .
There is a
balance between teachers and learners to
share their ideas on the blogs .A blog could be a
brief review of some educational topic .The different
types of blog are used in terms
of their communication
dynamics and
following impact upon teachers ,students and pedagogy .
Blogs have been much
more active since last ten
years and involved the
regular posting of basic items in reverse chronological
order .In a blog ,there is a
visual representation
,detail preparation and almost perfectly presentation ,incorporating
other such features as links
,comments ,permanent links
,blogrolls and discussions about the nature
of blogs and their potential use .Although these
features are extremely
important aspects of what
makes up a
blog,the most important developments int his
area have had little to do
with visual form .
Blog technologies are able
to simply represent themselves
online and as an
abbreviation of RDF Site Summary or
Really Simple Syndication
.RSS allows the
all users to subscribeto
a web page and
receive complete or summarised new content
.RSS is a big opportunity
for the introduction of
an entirely new mode
of communication and
mutual interaction .Blogs
have been used in educational settings in a number
of different roles that have
both extended upon in some instances replaced existing online communication tools .
Communication dynamics
between
blogs and others
forms on online communication tools
could make easier
to learn new things
.The knowledge can be
learned by sharing .Though almost
all identifiable studies
of the use of blogs
in education have been
relatively positive,there have
been significant areas in which no particular difference
or negative outcomes have been
recorded .Particularly ,teachers
and the learners
have struggled with participation
and getting learners
to extend themselves in
the environment ,handling collaborative tasks
using blogs .Actually , the blogs existed much more
in the form
communication platform where
they use their
collaborative natura .
Generally ,users visit the
blogs regularly to
communicate and share
their own ideas.While
the resulting feedback
claimed satisfaction and no objection to
the use of
the blogs,almost there was any
to indicate any important
shift in student perception
and activity in the
learning environments.
The other aim of
the blogs is
to determine a
topic ,understanding from one’s
perspective ,considering what they
think ,and enchancing their learning
process.The development of
knowledge through learning
to self-publish and
comment on postings that adhere
to the norms
of behaviour in the chosen
communication network in which
the exact aim is
to ecpect to enchance
the learners’ reflective
,meta-cognitive and written
skills also management of their learning.
