What do you mean by the comment "How we present our learning -especially our spelling?" I know I often type up comments, blog posts etc in a great hurry and then when I go back, realise that some of it did not make sense or was mispelt, but it is certainly not deliberately done.
hi Richard, had a look at your blog and found your method for reflection quite interesting. I will certainly consider using this in the future. It is good to receive such suggestions.
Sorry, I have found your other question. I would use globalstudent, especially when students are involved. I would start with a couple of trustworthy students for a start until you are confident but if you explain what a wonderful privelege this is and once students see the work online, they will rarely post inappropriate content. If they do, and make sure you monitor it regularly, it becomes part of learning about appropriate online behaviour and journalism.
Hi Richard, I have only twice had to speak to students about inappropriate material and it is all part of the learning process. Although I had joint administrative rights with them, I waited until I saw them at school, discussed it with them and within minutes the material had been edited or removed. Much better to put the onus on them. They dont want to lose their blogs or webpages. All students from years 4-11 have been blogging for 18 months now, so I think two students out of 200 is a fairly successful percentage for online behaviour.
If you regularly check their work and add comments, they know that someone is reading it and keeping a watchful eye. I try and encourage my students to check out two other student's posts and add a reflective comment on what they have read. This also helps keep everyone honest. Kids are kids, but if you give them trust they usually show great respect back.
