LA 3-3: Blogging in the Classroom

This science teacher blog (https://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org/) is very thorough and seems to be a classroom repository of information, much like a learning management system would be. However, there are some interesting aspects to the blogging that students do.  For instance, the teacher has students rate themselves on their learning and confidence with the material each week (https://tskinnersbec.edublogs.org/test-info/).  This is a great way for students to reflect on their learning, but just as important – to see how other students are doing in the class.  To see that others might be struggling with material, or to see who “gets it” and can potential be a source of help, is important to build students’ confidence.
