A current technology that has emerged in the last few years is blogging. It has shaped learning in higher education. There has been no problems or challenges associated in this technology.
The societal needs that it has met are allowing collaboration among students. The benefits are that students can write text, assignments, and post to one another blogs. They are able to provide feedback, correction, videos and opinions in response to projects and assignments. Students are able to work on a project together providing information along with creating team blog. Even when you are on the go you can use Go Mobile. Blogging can be done in 41 different languages.

I just recently started blogging more within the last few classes I have taken. I am really starting to become a fan of it. We have even talked about setting up a blog for the teachers in my deparment to share ideas and recipes with each other that we discuss during lunch. More of a way to share information at home with others. I think that blogs have a great potential in the classroom for students to interact with others in the classroom and outside. The possibilities of being able to communicate with others with common interests and to learn from others across the world. Blogs open up the doors for collaboration and for introduction to new ideas nad possibilities for our students.
