Technology Department Goals 2019

To develop resources for teachers to enable learners to produce meaningful blog posts.


The homework task from the Blogging session was as follows:

• Come back to the next Blogging PD with feedback on what happened during the blog post session with students
• What happened when you blogged with your students?
• What changes need to happen to improve the blogging process?

Today, I used the writing frame from the Blogging session with my NCEA Level 1 students, who are currently in the middle of their project focussed around developing a website.  I informed the students at the beginning of the double session that they would be blogging in the last 30 minutes of today's lesson.  They would have 60 minutes to work on their website, and at 12.20pm, they would have to stop working on their website, and reflect on the progress of the website development.  This is what happened ...

1. I shared the following blogging instructions with the students Blog Post Title: Website Development Progress
2. Students blogged, and linked their blog post into the Assessment Workspace
• Araiti  
• Paige  
• Sam  
3. One of the students didn't have a blog, so he emailed Lenva asking that one be created for him.  He completed the blogging task in a Google doc

At the next Tech Dept Blogging session, we will discussing the changes that need to happen to improve the blogging process!
