Rubrics for the assessment of Blogs

Rubrics for the assessment of Blogs
"We were talking the other day after looking at what makes a good blogger and the question came up about how to assess our blogs. So after much thought, discussion and some arguments we made three assessment rubrics. The students are now looking at other blogs as well as their own and will try to evaluate where they need some work."

Blogs Are Not the Enemy
http://www.techlearning.com/showArticle.php?articleID=196604374
There is a problem with blogs in the classroom—a problem that has many educators looking at blogging and not understanding why one would want to blog, how it benefits students, or how it engages them in the learning process.<
If we look at blogs as nothing more than electronic journals—replacing written journals—than I can understand why educators do not "get" how blogs work. Blogs as journals do not engage students any more in the learning process than a regular journal would.
The problem with blogs: We do not understand them.

The seven-year-old bloggers
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/3804773.stm
The seven-year-old bloggers
Children as young as seven in one British school are using weblogs as part of their normal routine, and are doing better than non-webloggers as a result, their teacher says
Children at Hangleton Junior School in Hove, Sussex, have been using weblogs in their spare time to learn more about things that interest them, but as a result their performance in class has improved.
The school's weblogs project has been so successful that it was shortlisted for a New Statesman New Media Award, an annual event highlighting the best web development in the UK.

Instructional Blogging: Promoting Interactivity, Student-Centered Learning, and Peer Input
Stuart Glogoff expounds on the educational applications of blogs and simple Web pages that can have surprisingly complex classroom applications. Situating his commentary in the context of pedagogical theory, Glogoff outlines the ways in which blogs can enable receptive learning, directive learning, and guided discovery.
Reflecting on successful practices in his own classroom, he also reveals how blogs can build community, promote interactivity, and increase student comprehension. This account of blogging technology as a learning tool provides models that instructors of both online and hybrid courses will find helpful.

Weblogs in education : video
A number of people have asked if the video that was shown at the Intel keynote is available online, so here are some links: Flash 6, Windows Media, and a smaller version of Quick Time.
Here's the link to the original .mov file in case those others get taken down. Be advised it's a .mov file that requires the latest version of QuickTime (free) and is a whopping 27 meg
To me at least, it's an amazing couple of minutes, and I really can't articulate how lucky I feel to have been the subject of all of this. But it gives an absolutely great overview of what Weblogs have meant at our school.

Everyone calls them a different name, but it? where kids are flocking (adults are too). They are a combination of a diary, a personal ad and a cyberdating Web site. I often call them a public diary on steroids.
