That is the question that I have been considering recently. At present I have students regularly reflecting on how/what they have learnt verbally and in different writing (digital) forums.
I always read their written reflections and respond which often leads to a digital ‘conversation’ that is private and targeted at taking that learner forward and/or strengthen our relationship. So-o-o, what additional benefits would blogging bring?
I’m less interested in gaining a greater audience for my learners then gaining additional support/opportunities to prompt my learners forward.
To this end have decided to try a class blog for my Year 12 and Year 13 classes . Watch this space for impact on the learners and their learning.
