I am a Literature and Communication Lecturer at the Antigua State College. I have thought during this week how I would integrate blogging into the classroom. I decided to give my students an essay question on the book Clear Light of Day, but they would have to answer the question as a group. Each group had an assigned question that they had to be submitted by Tuesday. The next step of the assignment unknowing to them was they had to condense their essay and place it on the blogging site. "Clearlightofday2.blogspot.com" The groups in the class have to post their essay along as their comment by Monday of next week.
I found that this assignment will enhance discussion amongst the class in addition to this, the blog will serve as a tool of revision for the upcoming exam. This assignment can also be seen as a tool to showcase their work. Normally an essay would be assigned and the other student would not have benefited form the answers of the other group members. Students are also able to comment and asked questions about the book that they had difficulties with.
