Group+1+Project+Blogs

Below you will find a link to a blog created by HolisticStudent1 using [|eBlogger]. It may be possible to embed a blog directly into wikispaces depending on the blog site being used. Most blog sites will allow linking. From the student's perspective, blogs can be a way to share their thoughts and feelings about the project (successes, challenges, difficulties, emotional responses). When students become emotionally invested in an issue they might not only become more academically successful but they may be more engaged in the project. Blogging could also be an activist tool if it is widely shared and followed. From the teacher's perspective it is more evidence of learning and evidence of process (these types of projects are often neither linear nor predictable) and well as learning. Blogging could also be a way to honour the emotional side of the learner. Below you will find a link to HolisticStudent1's blog,
