As you might expect, I encourage my students to blog regularly to support their learning. I have written extensively on the benefits of academic blogging , but perhaps the two most important positive outcomes are personal reflection and public dialogue. Some of my current group of education students are particularly active in blogging.

So Freire didn't actually live to see the power and potential of social media, or the impact blogging would have on education. But what would he have said about blogs if he had been witness to the participatory web in all its present glory? Dialogue, as the encounter of those addressed to the common task of learning.

The challenge was simple - you shared an image with a friend (or three) and challenged them to write a short, learning related blog about it. blimage = blog + image. Those who have participated in #blimage have reported that their visitor traffic has increased, their writing has improved, and they have engaged in a little creativity.

Obviously, this approach doesn’t work for everyone and taking good photos is an art in itself. However, when you get into the office to edit the photo you see that the image is a little out of focus. He had room for something like 5000 photos. However, it is a cost effective approach and with some practice very viable.

There are many, many ways to do this of course, and in this series of blog posts I will aim to explore a few methods that I have tried with success in engaging my own students. From my experience in traditional classrooms lack of engagement, and its cousin, low-level disruptive behaviour, are often the result of boredom. Warburton (Eds.)

For the uninitiated, #blimage (blog-image) is a game we started to encourage learning professionals to blog. At the end of your blog post you then challenge some of your friends with another image, of your own choice. Several people on Twitter have asked recently for images they can use for the #blimage challenge.

Reading through Keith Ansell's blog earlier this week took me a little by surprise. He had casually informed me that he had returned to blogging after a bit of a break, but I hadn't realised the extent to which he had 'returned'. It's a very reflective blog and is quite a treasure trove of content. He is prolific. Great stuff.
