WHEN WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO REMEMBER MEANING
THEY NEED TO THINK ABOUT MEANING
TO REMEMBER A THING
WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT IT IN THE WAY WE WANT TO REMEMEBER IT
WE NEED TO DIRECT ATTENTION
WE NEED TO FOCUS, WITH INTENTION
REPETITION IS NOT ENOUGH

ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT IS KEY
KNOWLEDGE THAT HAS PERSONAL RESONANCE IS MORE REMEMBERED

CRITICISING, ASSESSING, ADJUSTING, AND ASKING HOW AND WHY
ARE ALL WAYS FOR STUDENTS TO THINK, FOCUS AND REMEMBER

BLOGGING CAN HELP STUDENTS REVISIT MATERIAL MEANINGFULLY
NOT JUST AS REPETITION, BUT WITH CRITICAL ENGAGEMENT

HOW WE THINK ABOUT MATERIAL DETERMINES HOW WE REMEMBER IT
CRITICAL BLOG BASED REFLECTION CAN SUBSTANTIALLY AID THAT PROCESS.
By focusing our students on critical reflection, and structured revision.
By making reflection and the understanding process transparent to everyone, and providing a feedback space that flows in every direction.
By allowing the student to create a space where they repurpose, revisit and own the knowledge we focus on.
And by providing a space for the development and practice of critical thinking skills which more firmly embed new knowledge.
BLOGGING CAN BE A THEATRE IN WHICH OUR STUDENTS
MANIPULATE, CONSIDER AND THINK ABOUT MEANING ON A PUBLIC STAGE
BLOGS REQUIRE THE PUBLIC PRODUCTION OF THOUGHT
AND THE POSSIBILOTY OF PEER FEEDBACK, SUPPORT AND CRITIQUE

BLOGS CAN INVOLVE REFLECTION, ASSESSMENT, AND CRITICAL ENGAGEMENT
KNOWLEDGE THAT IS MADE MEANINGFUL IS MORE LIKELY TO BE REMEMBERED
BLOGS CAN SUPPORT KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION AND PROCESSING
WE CAN ENGAGE OUR LEARNERS CREATIVELY, ACTIVELY AND TRANSPARENTLY IN THINKING ABOUT MEANING
WE CAN SET THE FOCUS FOR THEIR THINKING
AND FORMAT THE MANNER OF THEIR REMEMBERING BY HOW WE FOCUS REFLECTION

A BLOG ALLOWS US TO SEE A STUDENT'S THINKING AS IT FORMS
WE CAN WATCH BOTH THE PROCESS AND THE PRODUCED RESULT
IF WE REMEMBER WHAT WE THINK ABOUT, HOW WE THINK ABOUT IT
THEN BLOGGING LETS US SET THE THINKING TASK, AND THE REMEMBERING PROCESS
IT ALSO OFFERS A REFLECTIVE FEEDBACK FORUM
WHERE WE CAN SEE AND RESPOND TO CONCEPT FORMATION WITH USEFUL INPUT

AND IT ALLOWS THE STUDENT TO TRACK THEIR OWN LEARNING

HOW TO HELP YOUR STUDENTS MAXIMISE THEIR BLOGGING POTENTIAL...
1. MODEL THE TYPE OF BLOGGING AND COMMENTING YOU WANT TO SEE
2. BE EXPLICIT ABOUT THE USEFULNESS, THE REASONS FOR BLOGGING
AND ABOUT HOW TO REALISE AND ACHIEVE THE BENEFITS
THIS WILL INVLOVE BEING CLEAR ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE IN YOUR CLASS BLOG
AND BEING CLEAR ABOUT HOW YOU ARE GOING TO ACHIEVE IT
3. BE PREPARED TO ACT AS TECHNICAL SUPPORT
LOTS OF RESEARCH INDICATES THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE LOOKING TO US
FOR DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE IN USING TECHNOLOGY TO LEARN
4. RESPOND PROMPTLY TO POSTS, MEANINGFULLY AND CAREFULLY,
MODEL THE TYOE OF ENGAGEMENT YOU'D LIKE TO SEE FROM STUDENTS
5. BE PREPARED FOR YOUR STUDENTS TO ENGAGE WITH EACH OTHER
OFFERING RESOURCES, IDEAS, FEEDBACK AND INSIGHT OF THEIR OWN
6. FINALLY, THINK CAREFULLY ABOUT THE ISSUES SURROUNDING PRIVACY,
AND TO DO WITH RESPECT, AND THE PERMANENCE OF DIGITAL MEDIA
WILL THE BLOGS BE PUBLIC OR PRIVATE?

HOW WILL STUDENTS INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER
AND ARE THE GROUND-RULES CLEAR AND ACCEPTED?

ARE YOUR STUDENTS AWARE OF THE PERMANENCE OF WHAT THEY WRITE
OF HOW PUBLIC IT MIGHT BE, AND HOW THAT MIGHT TEMPER WHAT THEY SAY?.
