In this post by Sebastian Fiedler, there are a number of interesting insights regarding the use of blogs by students as a new form of learning. He first quote from this post by Spike Hall:
To their thoughts I would add two. First, this is not simply a technology you are trying to hand over to these students. You are passing over the deuterolearning (aka meta-learning and learning-to-learn) torch.
Sebastian Fiedler responds by adding that facilitating this "learning-to-learn" can be a challenge:
People are used to certain way of learning. It is not enough to hand over some new technology or tools. People are often resitant to change - and so it is with changing how we learn. Students may need to develop these subskills and attitudes prior to fully embracing blogging as a new form of learning. So students may need to be taught not just how to learn for themselves, but how to develop the attitudes and subskills that may enable to to embrace self-learning tools such as blogging. Very interesting.
