blogging - lessons for me so far
- Blogging is working well for the more able pupils, as they seem to be retaining most of what they write about
- Blogging has been unsuccessful for some pupils, as they have directly copied information. Though the information is interesting and accurate, the pupils have succeeded more in the act of finding than in the act of learning. This is in itself an assessable skill - but the knowledge retention was the key to the exercise.
- About 200 posts and every post has been relevant. This is good. However, I am keen to switch to a better blogging system where there is an easier form of moderation.
- I am going to change my approach. Pupils will blog reconstructed information. In this way maybe kids will be forced to synthesise their own summaries of information. Just now they are retrieving with a high accuracy but not absorbing most of what they retrieve.
