The TCC Reflection Experiment

So we know that blogging with students can be effectively introduced into the classroom to:

• enhance reading & writing skills in an authentic, real-world context
• provide opportunities for innovation and creativity in an online format
• communicate and collaborate with other students, parents, and schools from all over the country or world
• allow for ongoing reflection of the teaching/ learning process

...but the reflective practice is not just done at the end as all of this eventually leads to reflection taking place at several points in time throughout the creation process:

When the piece of work is created, worked on...

is saved in the digital archive (an eportfolio like Google Drive, Blogger, WordPress, etc)

 

and during this whole time - all of this is process and the actual work is fresh on our minds…so by maintaining a blog students/ teachers can actively reflect on their work while it is fresh. The blogging process is part of the package, not an afterthought.

How can you use a blog to record your teaching/ learning?
