Reflection

Creating this Blog was a new and interesting experience for me. I have previously viewed and visited Blogs of friends and family members but I always thought that it would be a time consuming task and never created my own. Now I know that creating a Blog is time consuming however it is best to work on it in short intervals rather than all in one session. I did not think creating the Blog was difficult but it was fiddly in that sometimes I had to experiment and play around with features before I could get what I wanted.
I felt that creating a Blog about a website that could be used in the classroom related to the theory of multiliteracies. This is because once I had created the Blog and researched the website I wanted to use I had been exposed to two forms of multimodal texts one which was a website and the other was the Blog itself. A Blog is a useful tool where students can reflect on their learning in a creative and non restrictive manner where students have the opportunity to use technology in communicating themselves. Websites are also another form of multimodal texts which can be found in such a variety of formats and styles and in such a valuable research tool that students need to be given the opportunity in the classroom to learn to assess the different forms of information presented.
