Anti-Intellectualism as Part of Modern Education - 0 views

  •  
    "According to a civic education poll conducted by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs in 2009, only one in four students in Oklahoma public high schools could name the first President of the USA. The data collected from 1000 students, who answered 10 questions by telephone, shows that only 3% would have passed the U.S. citizenship test."

Formal style, proper grammar and good spelling ARE important in student posts and comme... - 1 views

  • Currently I correct most of my student’s spelling and grammar when I approve their comments
  • I’d think it would be a different matter with older children.
  • If the blog is of academic nature and is going to be read by other students/parents/teachers, then it’s our job to show them why conventions like spelling and grammar matter.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Again, it’s our job to show students how a writer’s audience affects how they write.
  • Speaking for all the poor writers out there, having someone always on my back about my grammar would put an end to my writing–it did for 27 years–from the time I graduated from college to the time I started blogging. So for me and all the other poor writers out there like me, would you rather we just stop writing? or is our voice valuable enough that maybe, just maybe, you could look past out inability to use proper grammar.
  • I feel that correcting everything, all the time, would kill their enthusiasm for using and experimenting with the language.
  • I was reading a grade 1 teacher’s blog, and the teacher left the childrens’ posts as is, but following each, put the correct form in parentheses. This both keeps the sense of ownership for the student, but allows for readers to understand the message clearly
  • I do not correct comments for a few reasons. First, they can be too numerous at times. Secondly, if I always do the editing work for them then students will never do it themselves. Third, I have several reluctant writers who never get a word down on paper but will make an effort if they get to write on our blogs.
  • am having students occasionally reflect on their comments and set/review goals for future comments.
  • I think that if they saw a good conversation going on in the comments (maybe on another classroom’s blog) they may get the idea that comments are as important, if not more important than the post.
  • Student edited, teacher directed vs. teacher corrected. In this instance, student age is an important consideration. Revising and editing are part of the writing process, so I require it of my middle schoolers. I also rely on peer review and peer editing.
  • I would appreciate teachers correcting posts and comments. It might be slightly embarrassing if it is done through comments, but maybe devoting a part of class every week to go over things that the teacher has found looking through posts and comments could improve the student’s grammar skills.
  • I like to balance between writing for an audience who is expecting readable text and the writing abilities of the grade or age level blogging. It also changes if the post is a class assignment with expectations described on a rubric as opposed to a free choice writing post.
  • BTW – peer editing is one way to check for spelling and convention errors and fix them.
