The beginning starts here

Student Scaffolding…

Idea: students create their own website, blog on a course, and add content, reflect, share with others. Research Diary: A Tool for Scaffolding, also connects to Sharing A Pragmatic Networked Model For Open Pedagogy: The Open Hub Model Of Knowledge Generation In Higher Education Environments I thought this is great for teachers who are learning, but why can’t students create their own website and reflect on learning from a course they have. It would be a great tool. It could just be a segment of the course, or section(s).

    Hi Trevor,
    I think the blog/website showcasing students’ own learning would be a great approach. However, I think there will be issues with administration regarding parents providing consent, students’ information being presented online, and the location of website servers storing that information. There’s also the issue with having to dedicate class time to setting up expectations and how to use website, as well as providing devices to students to access their blog/website if they don’t have a personal/accessible device.

      Thanks for the feedback. Yes, completely agree about the privacy issues and would have to think about how that could work.
