Today, while I was studying for ECO I Assessment , I realized how difficult is for students to keep a learner diary where to register what they've learned. According to Baxter, a learner diary may consist on pages at the back part of the file, I mean, it's easy to create. When reading that, I thought I could do it more appealing for students if we create a diary online. It would imply an awareness raising process because they need to reflect about what they think they have learned, but it would be easy, I thought , because they are digital natives. They are familiarized with technology.
Then, I remembered how difficult it was for me to start writing in this blog. In addition, I am a digital immigrant. But the real difficulty was to sit down and reflect upon the learning process, not the tool I would use to write my reflections.
So...It doesn't matter if the learner diary is a white sheet of paper or an online site with a colorful layout. What really matters is the content. Something that I'm still reflecting upon.
