Blogging Students

I’ve instructed half of my BScE students that they will have to use their “professional” blog @ blog.bsce.uni.lu for their assignments, autonomous studies, homeworks and other tasks… and I’m very curious to see how they will manage to learn how to use this technology tool and how they will make the thing and the writing process their own (FR: s’approprier la chose), once they will have a grip at the technology side of it… When will it be THEIR THING, instead of the university’s thing? We’ll see…

I’ve so far read only a few blog posts that my students have written, but I have to say that I do already feel that this tools will dramatically change the way I teach, the way I can trace their development, the way they will learn, the way they will think, the way they will share their knowledge, the way they will communicate, the way they will explore existing knowledge sources, the way they will create new knowledge, the way we will interact… We’ll have to see if my prophecy will be self-fulfilling 🙂

I’m also interested in the students’ use of the blogs as this is the first try with open blogs (for all our students), our WPMU installation and the launch of our ICT support site. 🙂

Thanks to Kristina, I’ve discovered that prestige universities in the US, like the M.I.T. also have blogging students… How cool is that? 🙂

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Luxembourg in the field of learning and teaching sciences. My PhD thesis was in cognitive psychology, focusing on implicit learning processes. I have always been interested in the integration of ICT in education, especially the strategic use of technology in teaching. With the advent of the digital revolution, I became interested in exploring the socio-cultural changes in learning caused by the use of digital technologies.

My current research focuses on the subjective theories of learning held by teachers and how these influence their use of ICT in the classroom. I am particularly interested in identifying factors that enable or hinder the use of ICT in teaching, and how these factors can be addressed.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively as a teacher trainer in the field of educational technologies. I have experience with various forms of active pedagogy approaches, including problem-based, project-based, and design-research approaches. My goal is to help teachers integrate technology into their teaching practice in a way that enhances student learning and engagement.
