Excellent TIP proposal. I like the survey questions you've written because I can see that you understand the phenomenon well enough to ask the right kinds of questions. My question to you: Most questions are not open-ended. That's alright, but, if you're interested in the relationship between blogging and quality of peer writing review, I think you'll want to get more than survey data on this particular relationship. I'd suggest a few open ended questions AND a few interviews with students. Is that possible? David W.
Nice to be working with you again. I really think you've found an excellent vehicle for testing out blogging in your classroom. The writing process seems to fit perfectly with blogging. Your survey is very thorough and I think you'll get some great data from it. However, I would also agree with David in that I think you need some more open-ended questions. I think you would only need 2 or so questions to get the job done. Also, there were a few questions in the after survey that mentioned if students wrote more through posting. Are you wanting to look at quantity or quality? As we both have middle school students doing blogging it will be interesting to see how our experiences compare! Good luck.
You have an excellent plan and include various forms of data, including videos of classroom. My suggestion is to make a timetable for a step-by-step guidance for your project. Gaoming Z.
Hi David, I really liked the ideas you have in your TIP proposal. Blogs seem to be a great vehicle for the writing process. Do you think that students may be too nice in their comments since the blog can be viewed by all? I love the idea of a system to categorize the postings. How do you plan to facilitate the peer review sessions? Are you planning to interview the students? Good Luck!
