What's a blog?
A blog is a personal diary. A daily pulpit. A collaborative space. A political soapbox. A breaking-news outlet. A collection of links. Your own private thoughts. Memos to the world.
Your blog is whatever you want it to be. There are millions of them, in all shapes and sizes, and there are no real rules.
What's a blog for the Spanish online course?
Publish your thoughts in Spanish anytime you want. We also want to provide you with a tool to make reflections about your learning every week. You can write in English about your reflections and in Spanish about your thoughts, plans, routine...just express yourself!
This reflective journal will be part of your grade and it will provide Instructors insight on their teaching and for students on their learning.
You will have access to the recordings of your live direct contact hours and feel free to review the recording before you write your journal entries.
Here it goes some tips on an effective reflective activity:
- Share a synthesis of the learning experience. We encourage you to share genuine emotions in a nonthreatening environment.Example: Aha! experiences.During the time of this course you may experience what is term an "Aha" moment- a moment when something that you have read or study makes sense with an unexpected clarity.
- Describe the personal value of the content you will be studying with your life. Example: if words you will be learning are you planning to use them soon in your life, in your community...
- Post new things that you have learn that week in class with Susy in English or Spanish!
Remember to reflect, activities that are done quickly are reactive, not reflective.
