Much of what happens in the classroom is due to the teacher’s attitudes and values towards the content and procedure. Additionally, sometimes students have a powerful effect in the way classes progress. When speaking about technologogy this is most visible. This reflective paper addresses the case of two different settings for the same class in terms of use of technology for learning. Two classes in the faculty of Education and Philolosophy & Letters were compared in their attitudes towards the creation of a blog as a part of their coursework for the class of English Didactics. This paper briefly explains the role and justification of such task and how students from both colleges approach it. The paper concludes that students in the College of Education show better attitudes and more interest than their counterparts from the College of Philosophy Letters. A number of of reflective conclusions can be drown from this case.
