I have chosen to review an educational blog that has been written by students.It would be a blog that I would be more interested in as they will talk mostly about topics of everyday student life and education. Even though i see The Guardian as a very formal website/newspaper, i thought that if the blogs have been written by actual students, i can find them very relatable and will find their information very helpful.
One of the blogs that I found interesting was the blog " How your brain likes to be treated at revision time"
It talks about tips that students are advised to undergo to help with their memory to help with their study's and revision etc .. e.g taking regular breaks and sleeping well. It also looks into scientific ways to revise - called 'spaced repetition . This is you should wait longer each time you revise something to see how long after you can retrieve the data.
Also with the actual blogging website students have to send in their ideas first to one of the blog makers to validate them and approve of them. So you know the points that are put up are going to be reasonable and apply about education and students in some way. The blogs also have links to Facebook and twitter, to share these blogs and ideas with friends.
I have also looked at the Guardians blogs for Higher Education network, and to be honest, they are a lot more academic and challenging to read and understand. The topics are more political and based around the government in my opinion. That's why i would rather the students blogs on my blogger site because they are more relatable to students such as myself.
