PL 32/10: Student blogging at LATINA

Learning is work – hard work.

Students from the Summer School 2010.

And fun – I hope.

We ask our LATINA students to learn as much as they can through their own activities. Blog writing is central to our learning design.

Below I’ve selected posts from different LATINA courses. They illustrate different ways of using blogs for individual and collective learning.
