 * **Reflective writing** - Reflecting is a very important academic and life skill as demonstrated by this quote from Gibbs (1988:9): "It is not sufficient simply to have an experience in order to learn. Without reflecting upon this experience it may quickly be forgotten, or its learning potential lost. It is from the feelings and thoughts emerging from this reflection that generalisations or concepts can be generated. And it is generalisations that allow new situations to be tackled effectively." Comprehensive information about it can be found on UEFAP website while this video provides a very quick and easy guide to what reflective writing is and what it is not!


 * **Commenting on blogs** - Comments are an essential part of blogging experience. They allows the authors and the readers to engage in discussions, transforming a blog from a static space to an interactive community. Discussions in comments are also very important for reflective learning as comments which challenge or suggest alternative options encourage one to reflect, revise, evaluate and review one's thoughts. For these reasons commenting is incredibly motivating. Writing good effective comments requires some practice - some guidelines and tips are clearly presented in this video:
