Abstract

This paper analyzes the results of an evaluation of the use of blogs carried out with students of Education Sciences. A blog was used in order to create content on the topics of the class “Educación para la salud y la calidad de vida” The students were given instructions that information they write could become of interest for dependents of children of school age. In total, 41 students participated, 39 women and 2 men. The study is quantitative; a questionnaire for collecting information at the end of each academic period (2014 and 2015) was used. The results showed that the students had never used a blog before; however, the experience was positive enhancing new educational and technological skills. Also, the study shows that there is willingness to use these tools in education. In conclusion, universities may support the blog as an academic tool in higher education. Blogs allows future teachers to incorporate new cognitive and technological skills.
