At the Teacher's Desk: Blogging Isn't the Answer to Your Students' Writing Needs - 2 views

blogging writing feedback technology digital writing blogs

shared by seth_mitchell on 26 Jul 12 - No Cached

for teaching writing, blogging isn't the best choice. Your students will learn much more and be less likely personalize their mistakes if you have those conversations face to face. Where blogging shines is through the ideas shared and the conversations created by posting online. If that isn't the goal of your writing assignment, perhaps you need to rethink the medium you have chosen for your students to use.

  Blogging as shared thinking -- an excellent point. Makes me rethink some things before leaping back into blogging projects next year.

Most students could use greater familiarity with what newspaper, magazine and book editors call “narrative nonfiction”: writing that tells a factual story, sometimes even a personal one, but also makes an argument and conveys information in vivid, effective ways.

By having students blog, you are giving them a place to share their love of reading
...

Cancel
When students write deeply, about ideas they care about (in this case, books and reading), their voices organically begin to take shape. Their words start to sound like them and represent them as readers, but more importantly, as people.

Not to say that writing for a teacher contains no value, it does, but when a student writes for an audience of 100 or 1,000, neat things start to happen. The ownership they feel over their words increases.

Thanks to the wonderful world of social media, students have a closer connection than ever to their literary celebrities.

  One of the most important aspects for us about portfolios is that reflection happens - putting portfolio together is not just making a checklist - it is thinking about your learning - the metacognition.

  That is great! I kept my portfolio from ETEP and have often shown them my own portfolio. But perhaps creating my own writing portfolio would be helpful and show that this is something that writers do -- not just students.

  As a content area teacher, I use e-portfolios in place of lab notebooks. All the students lab reports are housed in a digital setting. So my goals and vision for e-portfolios are much more singular.

  Some students will take the bull by the horns and make the most of the features of the portfolio process and program. Of course others will just go through the motions to get it done. Either way, the process of creating is what's important - the generation of a body of work that the student will consider and the process of accomplishing the task as well.

  This is my concern with moving in the direction of an ePortfolio. I've seen this happen with "paper" portfolios time and time again. Lots of work is put into it and when it's finished parents see it as a "keepsake" and still want a "grade". How do we change this culture? How do we assist parent and administrators.
