Question: Is blogging a valid form of assessment? I think that blogging is a way to use formative assessments in the classroom. It will allow you to see what students know by letting them put it in their own words and use their own thoughts.
I think as stated in the article that blogging lets teachers reach a different type of learner. This allows the teacher to engage students with Interpersonal and Intrapersonal learning styles.
Would you do this as an optional extra credit outside of the classroom or split the kids with the computers you have in the marketing lab?
ReplyDeleteI think tool is so popular today, I would use this perhaps as an everyday formative assessment tool. Perhaps use it to have the kids blog about what happened in the store daily. Talk about specials and anything else exciting.
