Some suggested ways to Assess childrens blog sites.

Tech learning addresses some ways that we can assess children's learning through their blog sites is to:

• Start slowly by asking students to post once a week in response to a specific assignment This allows evaluation of student writing over time, not just in one high-pressure testing situation. How can I evaluate the different explanations children have about their understanding and interpretation of what they are discovering while using ICT?
  
• Involve students in their own assessment. Assign a written self-evaluation students can submit before giving term grades where they reflect on their strengths and weaknesses. This may depend on how close the links are with the integration of a particular context of learning, as to weather the assessment will be the usage of the ICT through their blogs, or the contextual learning itself. How can I manage both?
  
• Build rubrics that evaluate quality, not just quantity, this can encourage substantive discussion in student message board communication.
  How can I effectively keep track of students communication with each other, as they are helping each other (teaching each other) how can I be informed of this new learning.
  
• Use models. Bookmark examples of well-written blogs.
  Should this be related to specific areas? could children search and find these on their own and discuss what they learn? and children could possibly pull out ides that will fit with them and help guide own blog sites.
• Consider where children are been taken to in their learning How is this evident in their sites? we can do teacher and student conferencing and check points to establish this in class discussions about how children's themes are coming to life.
