Creating a course-integrated blog with WordPress can help students by participating in information and media literacy and understand what they are. Educators can create prompts that encourage students to look at class texts, use class discussions and collaborate with their peers to find credible sources to create the posts.
Writing a paper or developing a project can be difficult, but with the help of a research database like JSTOR all the information accessed is written by experts in their field. They are credible sources and won't make a teacher second guess the source. By typing appropriate keywords and topics within the search bar related academic journals, books or research papers will pop up to engage critical thinking and expand knowledge.
