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.

What Are The Benefits of Studying In Canada? - 1 views

  •  
    There are many good reasons to consider studying in Canada, but the news team at Global Opportunities has done the research and ranked the top five of these reasons for you. Five reasons why you should study in Canada 1. Safe and beautiful Canada is considered a very safe country. It boosts lower crime rates than many other western nations. In addition, its vast geography and expansive unspoiled wilderness are a sight to behold. If nature isn't your thing, Canadian cities are full of culture, museums, galleries, and exciting things to do. 2. Multicultural environment Multiculturalism is a trademark of Canada. Everyone is welcomed and embraced. Vancouver and the surrounding municipalities have rich and vibrant Chinese and Indian communities, but many nationalities and ethnicities are well represented throughout the country and city. In 1971, Canada was the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy. By so doing, Canada affirmed the value and dignity of all Canadian citizens regardless of their racial or ethnic origins, language, or their religious affiliation. 3. Affordable Education International students can attend school in Canada for a significantly lower price compared to other countries. The average tuition fees for colleges and universities in Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., the U.S., and Canada are compared in this article. The U.S. was by far the most expensive, and Canada was by far the most cost-efficient. 4. Quality Education You don't always get what you pay for in life. Despite being less expensive than other nations, Canada has some of the world's most acceptable living and educational standards. British Columbia and Canada's universities are renowned for their quality on a global scale. This is caused, in part, by the fact that provincial governments regulate institutions. You know a Canadian university, like UCW, is up to tight government criteria if you're a student there. UCW undergoes a regular five-yea
