The first hurdle to help students to start blogging was to help them to create an email account in google. As students lack the exposure to the language of internet, it is a tedious task to help the students to fill up the 'form' for a new google account. However, after hours of patience and preserverance, most students were able to start blogging. As the computer labs lack the amount of computers for all students, 2 students have to share a computer and hence one blog. This is actually useful as students can engage in communicative and collaborative learning.
The students are finally on their way to post their first post. It is hoped that this effort can be continued and students will engage in the habit called blogging. I am happy to say that the students have finally jumped over the first hurdle.
