Saves me time, and gives students a sense of responsibility for their own work
The blog project: from the start, students were told to look up a few blogs to get an idea of what a blog looks like, and to learn how to set one up.
This week,I'm supposed to check on the first stage : registration of blog, title, background/intro to topic, profiles of members of the blog group.
I get each group to open their blog to the class ( LCD and laptop now a regular part of the class), and the class gives comments and learn to evaluate one another's work.
This helps them to understand what to look out for to develop a good blog.
I have developed evaluation sheets for each group so that I can track their progress.
Showed class a short movie from 15Malaysia ( Pete Teo's project) - "House" as discussion leading up to work on Unit 3 Urban Planning.
