C4K November

The C4K assignments for November varied from very early age students to older students. The diversity of age made reading and commenting on the blog posts much more enjoyable, as most C4K assignments have been for younger students. The younger students I commented on had grammatical issues. As usual, I made sure to remind them that using proper grammar is essential for one's credibility. The students showed a real effort in their blogs. Some of the C4K teachers were allowing their younger students to blog about what they enjoy. One student did a Google Presentation on Horror Movies.

One blog post I was assigned, however, was for a high school student. This student did an in depth analysis of voter prejudice in today's society and its historical implications. This post showed just how effective blogging can be for older students as well. This student exhibited competence in her writing, understanding, and argument. It was one of the best blog posts I've ever read. Younger students blogged about their class activities and their own. Blogging seems to be an effective learning method for students if you make it fun for them and allow them to put their selves into it.
