SHARE

Each day create a blog post talking about your learning process.  For example your first blog post might be about reading the article and thinking about 4 questions.  The next day your blog post could be about creating your task and telling your audience if it was easy or difficult.

Blogging is a fantastic way to get feedback on your learning and it is OK to blog about your learning when it isn’t finished.
