While attending college classes, I have had to journal twice. Once, when I was at the United States Air Force Academy Prep School for an English class. The other time was during a graduate-level course. But I turned that journaling experience into blogging, which I continue to do.
In both cases, I felt frustrated because I really did not understand the exercise. Journaling was certainly something that I did not continue past the class. At least not until recently. I did, however, continue with this blog, which has over 1100 entries.
Listening to many entrepreneurs on podcasts, I appreciate the importance of journaling. I consider journaling a valuable activity and think teachers should instruct students in it.
This episode will explore the benefits of journaling, types of learning prompts to write about, and tips for successfully implementing journaling in your class.
