Blogging Update

May 28, 2006 at 6:01 am | In Uncategorized | Comments Off

Students have been enthusiastic about this new way of writing their Reading and Viewing Journal.  In fact, many students are writing more than they would using pen and paper!  I would like to encourage parents and other relatives to explore their blogs and offer constructive comments.

Other blog entries I have asked the students to do include reflecting on the PNG presentation by Mr Jeffreys, some creative 50 word short stories, and soon I will be asking them to reflect on the current assignment.

The blogging is a great way to include more self reflection into my teaching and learning program.  It is providing time for the students to stop and think about what they are doing, which sounds simple, but is often something we don’t give time for.  My own blogging is helping me reflect more on my teaching practice, which can only be a good thing!
