I have been blogging with my students since January. We started with our Digital Portfolio (citizenship, reputation, footprint) and then branched out into real blogging. I have been giving them oral feedback and commenting on their blogs as well. After a few weeks of blogging and knowing my expectations we generated our success criteria for blogging.
I posted this on our Edmodo page as well where they get their challenge each week. I have also given them a mid challenge report card.
With the ‘report card’, I went through their entire blog, broke it into the curriculum components and media skills. They were given feedback to improve their blog posts and their overall blog.
I think my class has a better understanding of what is expected and have seen an improvement in the past few weeks with their efforts.
Kudos to my class – KEEP IT UP 3.14!!!!
How do you assess blogs? Any time saving tips?
