In the article titled “The impact of using blogs on college
students’ reading comprehension and learning motivation” by Hsu and Wang, discuss
the effects that blogging has on reading performance levels. A study was conducted
on a group of college students to examine the effects blogging had on their
reading performance levels. The results showed
that the reading performance levels did not differ much between the blogging
and non-blogging class. However, the only difference was the communication
level and connection the students established between each other. The blogging
class came out stronger in that aspect. One other difference was the retention
level, with the blogging class coming out strong once again.
The article also discusses how college professors are reluctant
to use technology because they don’t feel that comfortable with it. This proves
my belief that educators must be taught how to use technology for the purpose
of learning so that they can confidently implement technology in their
classroom.
