Learning is a gradual and continuous process. It's not just neither confined on the four corners of a classroom nor doesn't end in graduation day but only the start of learning, learning what life is and how to cope with it. It will only stop when the learner want
The traditional learning, as what others might think, is reading books (bunch books rather) and learning from a teacher in school. However, we are already in a century works on high-technology. trough this, one can learn not just by reading books rather by surfing in the world wide web. Therefore, learning is also done globally through information technology that comes from different discipline, from simple to complex form.
This article wants to make an emphasis on what I learn as a blogger in EduBlogging. But first, let's define what blog is. Blog is an informational site published in the internet and it consists of posts composed by the blogger. Posts are discrete entries may be made up of facts or information, opinions or a personal view and arranged in chronological order. It also allows reader to leave a comment in a particular post or article.
Hence, EduBlogging, from its root word "edu" which means education, is writing an article that is informative. On the other hand, it is a means of reaching out to other people by means teaching and learning. It's not just a monologue rather a dialogue between the reader and the composer. It's you between the World, I should say. Everyone can see and read what you write. Everyone has an opportunity to learn through blogs.
I describe Edublogging in two words: TEACHING and LEARNING.
Edublogging is teaching. This is because blogger could write anything based on facts. Through this, everyone has an opportunity to be an Educator. One can share what he knows to the world provided that the article is written is reliable and sources are mentioned as well so that the reader can visit the sites for gaining more information.
Edublogging is learning. Articles from edublog can be a form of learning materials however as i said awhile ago it should be reliable. Readers can gain more information in the blog because others write an article with a summarized version of all or some of the information about the topic. it is equipped with a comment portion to say something about the particular topic or reader can raise question to the blogger. A blogger couldn't write a good article if he doesn't read many sources from books or in the internet. By that, blogger is also a learner.
This might be a reflection on what I've learned on EduBlogging. At first, it sounds weird and I cant imagine myself creating my own blog, thinking this is not MY THING and I'm not into it! I'm asking myself how can I write a good article if I'm not enjoying it. But as time goes by and reading those articles I composed, I realize that I CAN and this is "NOT MY THING" instead "THIS IS ME" and this is who I am. Every article i wrote is always comes from my heart. Every article is unique fro the others and it also shows a part of me. Though at first i see it only as a requirement in my Clinical Chemistry III subject, but now I am dedicated to write and i hope that I can write more articles as I can to help others especially to help myself.
Through edublogging, I learn how to get out on my comfort zone. I follow other bloggers and some follow my blogs too. It teach me to be sociable and it make me realize that I'm not the only person in the world, it's not me against the world rather it's me and the world. I learn how not to be ruled by inertia. I learned new skills such as meta-analysis and constructive criticism. It teach how to work on my weaknesses and improve myself.
These are all because of my professor in my Clinical Chemistry III. I want to say thank you for all the things i learned from her. I cant say it verbally cause I'm a little bit shy but I want to show gratitude to you ma'am. I was able to come up with this blog because of you. I was inspired by you. And I am so thankful. I hope you can able to read this :)))
I Love blogging, especially EDUBLOGGING!!
