Purposes of Blogs

Willie , You can tell you learned from your courses! ( I hope my students do that from my class). You just have another tool in your education toolbox. The more tools you have the better approaches you will have to connect student learning to the real world. Dr. Kelly Wilkinson

Assessment of Use of Blogs

Kimberly, I love your term "guiding lights" I will use it (and cite you). I have used rubrics for most of my grades particularly if it is action or project based. It sets the expectations for the students and it allows me to grade in a more objective way . Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
