Once I announced the blog assignement to the students. My students have two main reactions. Some of the students said:" not again, this is my third blog homework. Why do we have the blog assignment?... ". Some of the girls said: "Wow, Ms. Fan knows how to blog, ...." Today it is Monday, I check my blog and find there are two comments. I think their comments are interesting. Actually, the due day for the assignment is this Thursday. I will see if I will have more comments by then..........
I have received 42 blogs on the due day. I am supposed to receive 55 students' blogs. When I read their comments, I find that they talk about their true feelings. Compared to the weekly journal, I feel blogs really tell you something real about the students themselves. Just one problem, some of them do not use their real names. I have to ask them for clarification. I hope I can do the spreadsheet and I will know who did or who did not. Overall speaking, I like this experience.

I hope it works out. Did you have to teach anything about blogging or did they know what to do already - with 3 other blog assignments?
ReplyDeleteWow, I’m surprised that it sounds like quite a few teachers at your school are assigning blogs, that’s great. I need to know how to set it up for an entire class so that their comments appear on a spreadsheet like Kathleen does. Did you do it that way or ??
ReplyDeleteThis is quite exciting and we look forward to hearing more. I can show you how to make the spreadsheet too.
ReplyDeleteYour web site is well organized. It flows to the next comment. Good job!
