Good Morning Developers,

I have done quite a few blog posts on the benefits of having your students do blogs. Although, grading the work that students do online can be difficult, as this is new territory for a lot of instructors. Here is a link to a rubric for grading student blogs. If you require your students to do a blog post or create a blog please take a look at this example rubric for grading purposes. You could include a sample rubric in your course for future instructors to use when grading the blogs or you could simply include the link in your course for future instructors to have access to.



Have a great week!

Hello Developers,

Today is the 100% completion date for all Fall Quarter, 2009 developments.


Today the peer advisors will be going into the courses and completing a feedback sheet. This feedback sheet will give you the information you need to complete your development. Once you have worked in the necessary feedback I will copy your 12 week master course into a 10 week master course and you can complete your development by converting your course to the 10 unit lay out (some of you have done the 10 week conversion already, and if this is the case then please work feedback into both master shells).

Thank you for all of your hard work this quarter, the courses are of high quality and I look forward to getting the feedback from the peer advisers!

I wanted to leave you with a wonderful website on educational blogging. The Support Blogging wiki has been set up to provide an opportunity for students, teachers, administrators, parents, and others to help promote an understanding of the benefits of educational blogging.

There is a list of hundreds of educational blogs, a list of great web resources on educational blogging, and a community of people to contact with any questions you have about blogging.

Even if you don’t want to start your own blog, there is a wealth of information on this site for how to encourage blogging in your classrooms or even just hundreds of blogs that give you information and resources on education as a trade.

Have fun playing with this wiki!
