Roles of Participants when Using Blogs as Writing Portfolios

Roles of Participants

Students

Students will be charged with setting up their blog according to teacher guidelines, meaning they must follow the appropriate use policy, and school board regulations regarding computer access. They will be expected to follow assignment criteria, and implement the process of writing as necessary. Students will be encouraged to meet deadlines, and ask for assistance when needed.

Teacher

The classroom teacher must set up the project and monitor student progress. They must be available to support student difficulties and troubleshoot problems encountered. The teacher will assess the assignment submissions of students and provide them with feedback. Teachers will collaborate with other staff to gain support for students to post all subject area assignments on their blog. Lastly, the teacher must facilitate learning throughout the year as students develop in their writing skills, and blog development.

Administration / Parents

Even though administration and parents are not directly involved in this project, the overall outcome of the project requires their support. Administration should be made aware of this type of learning occurring in the classroom, as well as parents. If parents have any objections, the organizing teacher may resolve the issue.
