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.

Do You Remember Comma And Its Importance? - Custom Essay Writing Service - 0 views

  •  
    For most students, the comma holds little importance save as a small punctuation mark that they are never very sure about when they are expected to use. In academic writing however, minus the comma means that whatever will eventually be written will make little sense to the reader.

Diigo help - 0 views

  •  Feature Highlight: Highlights Diigo saves the day with "highlights". Highlights let you select the important snippets on a page and store them in your library with the page's bookmark. Let's try it. Just open a page, maybe one of your old-school bookmarks or one of your new cat bookmarks, and find the information on that page you actually care about. Select that important text. Got it? Okay, now put your hemet on, 'cause this might blow your mind! Click the highlight icon on the Diigo toolbar. It's the one with the "T" on a page with a yellow highlighter. You will notice that the selected text gets a yellow background. This means that the text has been saved in your library, and as long as you have the Diigo add-on the text will be highlighted on the page! How's that for easy?   Now you've highlighted the text. It will appear in your library within the bookmark for the page it is on. Go to your library and you can see how it works. If you're not sure how to get to your library, just click the second icon on the toolbar (Diigo icon to the left of the search bar) and then select "My Library »".
  • Sticky Notes on the Web What? I can put a sticky note on a web page? How? Oh, that's right! Diigo. Just right-click anywhere on the page and choose to "add a floating sticky note". Type up your note and choose "Post", then move the note anywhere on the page. You have to type a note first, before you move it where you want, otherwise there's nothing to move!

New Mexico Media Literacy Project | nmmlp.org | Language of persuasion - 1 views

  •  
    We call these techniques the "language of persuasion." They're not new; Aristotle wrote about persuasion techniques more than 2000 years ago, and they've been used by speakers, writers, and media makers for even longer than that. Learning the language of persuasion is an important media literacy skill. Once you know how media messages try to persuade you to believe or do something, you'll be better able to make your own decisions.
