Amy Hess on 18 Apr 11This reflection is an important metacognitive step...I like that assignment! Is there a reflective tool that teachers can share to do this?
-
-
It focuses students attention on their own process, encourages them to try new ideas and approaches, respects their diversity, and guides students in being better able to talk about their own thinking and learning.
-
Diigo's web highlighter and sticky note tools would allow students to carry out that same assignment without paper.
- ...3 more annotations...
-
in addition to saving bookmarks to their own libraries, they can also save them to the group.

Students would also select the option that allowed the page and its annotations to be shared with our class Diigo group, so when I or any other student visited our class Diigo library they could see each students' bookmarked blog post, and beneath that post, a display of the excerpts highlighted and the sticky note responses that had been recorded. For grading, I only needed to visit our Diigo page and use this rubric to assess my students' work. Alternatively, I could also visit the student's blog post, and so long as I had Diigo open on my computer, I could see the annotations on their post. If I wanted to respond to any part of my students' reflections, I could use Diigo to type in my comments and they would then show up in my students' libraries. Though I have not done so yet, I also see potential for students to respond to each other's assessments in the same way.

Since all of my students publish their writing on their individual blogs, they can use Diigo to bookmark their posts, highlight parts that demonstrate their thinking, revisions, and challenges, and include sticky notes on the page to include their written explanations and reflections" // Interesting blog post
