How does the teacher employ blog for the learning activity?

  • (1) Through experiential learning (2) looking at the pattern [Pair #5]
  • (1) Post homework/worksheets (2) Call using SKYP (3) Learn (number patterns) [Pair #15]
  • A group blog is used in this case. Pupils are 'invited' to become co-author of the blog.
  • It's likely that the teacher has assigned a pupil to take charge of the posting each day. At the end of the day, the pupil will identify one question that was discussed in the class and present the problem and solution in the post.
  • Over a period of time, the blog captures the learning that takes place in the class.
How pupils participate in the activity?

  • (1) Pupils give their own examples (2) Looking at right angled triangle with different lengths [Pair #5]
  • (1) Pupils use paintbrush to do the workshop (2) Group work [Pair #15]
  • The pupil is the co-author of the blog. He/She will log in and takes charge of the day's posting. It could be a year-long process.
  • From the blog, it's quite evident that pupils are able to post images (which is quite extensively used here). This also means that they are able to scan, take a picture of the written piece of work or use application in the computer to create the image.

How pupils' learning is monitored? If this is not reflected in the blog, what would you propose to do so as to monitor the activity?

  • After teacher has taught the topic, the students will blog their reflection and teacher will monitor students' understanding through their blogs [Pair #4]
  • Teacher selectively ask pupils to do summary of lesson [Pair #15]
  • Based on pupils' posting.
  • The teacher can use the aggregator to monitor the posting. If "teaching moments" arises (ie. when there's misconceptions), teacher can add his/her comments in the post.
