Andrea's Blogfolio

As a requirement of the course I am taking at The University of Southern Mississippi, IT 648: Telecommunications in Education, I will be completing a blogfolio of all of my academic experiences in this online course. The blogfolio is a compilation of blog reflections and linked access to all of my assignments in the course. It is a fantastic way to submit and reflect upon your assignments and allows for immediate feedback from my classmates and my instructor.

I think the concept of a blogs in education is wonderful. Blogs allow for instant anytime, anywhere communication between the instructor and students. It provides a voice to students who wouldn't ordinarily be vocal in a traditional classroom setting. Blogging eliminates the daunting task of writing reflections by hand and provides interactivity to otherwise monotonous educational tasks. The students also have the freedom to personalize their own blog sites to reflect individualism.
