Blogging

I have found, through a recent presentation, that blogging could be a valuable way to assess students learning and knowledge. A blog can help students that are having difficulties expressing themselves in class, or the students that would rather type in a conversation then verbalize their feelings. Blogging is a new way of communication, but I think it can really be an asset to teachers to keep track of the student's assignments throughout the year. It is also a great way to perform summative assess students at the end of the year, and discuss their growth with their parents using a blog rather than a pile of paper work. I am not saying that written assignments should be discarded from the curriculum, but instead blogging should be added to the curriculumto enhance students learning.
