Keywords:
recording vlogs, vlogging, electronic journals, web blogs, video blogging;Abstract
Video-blogging activities can meet the needs of today’s students who are surrounded by these highly dynamic and interactive technologies already. Students’ interaction with producing and publishing media and sharing it with a community can improve their communicational and technical skills which are required for them to be successful and competent citizens in society. When used effectively in educational settings, video-blogging may redefine classroom borders expanding learning experiences outside of the school to the community connecting school, students, teachers, administrators and parents in a learning community.
