Social Software has risen in use over the last couple of years and now certain methods are being implemented in several universities in the United States and around the world. The use of these social communities has created sites outside of the classroom like MySpace and Facebook but it is how these additional f social networks are being use in the classroom. Wikis and bloggers have been developed to give the student a second voice in furthering their remarks about the course material.
I have recently found many of my professors using these types of tools to incorporate into to their course schedule. Blogs are a way to reflect the way a student feels about a particular subject or how it may or may not relate to any previous experiences. In my own journey of blogging I have found that I am beginning to learn a bit more about topics that may have found a difficult. Sometimes rereading may still have me stump but talking about a topic, for example like right now I begin to understand as a learner it is important to have a method of communication like this. Knowledge comes about through repetition and discussion. I know that I haven’t mastered some of the theories that we have learned but I am a on the road to do so.
