The document discusses using blogs to promote independent learning for students at Hwa Chong Institution. It implemented a 1-year blogging program where each student had their own blog as part of the Language Arts Programme. The blogging program aimed to improve students' writing skills, engage critical thinking, and shift learning from teacher-centered to student-centered. Teachers took on a facilitating role by initiating blog prompts and providing feedback and supervision. Overall, the blogging program was found to actively engage students in writing, tracking books, and making connections beyond the classroom.
