12 Reasons to Blog with your Students
As a math teacher it can be really easy or really challenging to incorporate technology into a lesson. Using blogging as an assessment tool seems like a really useful and engaging tool to assess student learning in a language arts class or a history class or any other class that involves a significant amount of writing as a form of expression. It might take a little more creativity to develop a way of using blogging as an assessment tool in a math class. I would imagine that students could blog about how they would go about solving a problem or maybe justify an answer. They might also spend some time blogging about vocab terms and how they relate to the unit being studied.
Hey Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I think blogging is the best resource for assessment for a lt of subjects, especially Math. I do see blogging as a tool to get your Math students to start thinking why am I solving these equations, who uses these formulas, and what will these skills "get me " in life. Blogging is a way students can find meaning in Math ( sometimes its not as evident as in other subject areas, however it's equally relevant )

We use math in our cosmetology program. I feel that the blogging would be more beneficial to comment on their overall process and end result and not on specific math equations.
