Weblogs Transform Service-Learning Reflection

In every service-learning project, the component of reflection is an integral aspect of the learning process. Intentional, systematic reflection of the experience must take place for students to make that critical connection between the service-learning experience and the theoretical objectives of the course. In this service-learning project, a blog was utilized for student reflection, giving them the opportunity to share their progress. This transformed the typical reflection between teacher and student into a learning community where the individual student's learning was impacted by other students.
