C4K Assignments - October

One of the main things I've noticed while doing C4K assignments is that most students aren't proofreading their blog posts. Most of my comments involve encouraging students to keep blogging, but also pointing out grammatical errors they need to fix. Blogging is an extremely important medium for students to learn with, but most students' blog posts are only a few sentences in length.

However, I think it is extremely important for students to blog because it increases their learning network and gets them excited. One student, Liku, seemed to have put a good bit of work into a graph in his blog. Another had to imagine she was a character in a book and had to write from that character's point of view. It's amazing to see how much kids learn and interact with each other from blogging. C4K assignments not only benefit C4K students, but us as well as we can clearly see how blogging is having a positive effect on students' learning process.

When commenting on a C4K student named Jack's blog, I made sure to tell him grammar is important when blogging because everyone can see your work! Overall C4K not only benefits the younger students' but us as well. After all, we're all students. Blogging just connects us to a more intricate and advanced learning network.
