Clase revuelta

For the past few months Michael Drennan's GCSE and A level students have been doing all their writing via student blogs.

 

"Students realise how high the bar of public domain writing is. This can be initially intimidating, but that removes all apathy or sense of the humdrum. Asking all students to write blogs as learning unfolds and interlinks empowers the teacher to be more supportive because they're less tied to the bureaucracy; it raises challenge levels; it enables IT-skilling; it lets students see their own progress and differentiates well; it means more productive and accelerating learning-talk over rote-writing".

Los estudiantes se exigen más a sí mismos si tienen que desempeñar sus tareas escribiendo en la red. Les supone un desafío y les empodera. Se sienten motivados y soportan mejor que se les ayude a corregir sus defectos hablando acerca de los escritos digitales.
