I have enjoyed reading your blogs. Lots of thoughtful comments and some evidence of deep understanding of the new story and its fundamental tenets. I wish I could read all of your bogs, as some are very illuminating and I learn a lot from reading them. In the next course EDUC 4P29 Critical Literacies across the Curriculum (an optional winter course) we will be looking at teacher blogs and seeing how a professional blog looks and the exciting things that teachers are actually doing with their blogs and professional learning. But for now, I would just like to make a couple of comments on making your blogs as professional as possible. You have probably seen from your blog group how intriguing one can make the blog. Great images, interesting links and relevant YouTubes make blog reading a fascinating experience. I try to look at every link that is provided and some have taken me to new territory (thanks). This intense experience also makes assessing the blogs a very time consuming task.
Because we are giving comments online that can be accessed by anyone I have not been offering constructive criticism. So I'm asking you to do a little self-assessing.
- Have you edited your blog thoroughly? There are some that have small, but telling, grammatical errors. (Maybe ask a critical friend to help edit it).
- Have you discussed something that connects to the course (readings or lectures)?
- Have you added relevant images, links and YouTubes? Have you given credit where credit is due?
- Connections to other blogs? literature? Are your references at the bottom of the page?
