Diigo for Digital Writing Reflection
-
Presently, the writing my 8th grade students are doing has taken the form of a fairly open writing workshop, where students write across various genres about about topics of importance to them, publishing these pieces to their blogs every couple of weeks. Here are some of the pieces they've done recently.
The purpose of such writing is for students to develop as writers and thinkers, while also establishing their presence in a global community of learners. Assessment of how students meet these goals is done by the students themselves, as for each piece they publish they write a reflection where they identify and explain aspects of their piece that show the following:
-evidence of themselves as thinkers
-evidence of using revision to improve their writing
-evidence of how they worked through challenges -
I love using this method as a way to assess my students' writing, which I was introduced to last summer at the UNC Charlotte Writing Project. It focuses students attention on their own process, encourages them to try new ideas and approaches, respects their diversity, and guides students in being better able to talk about their own thinking and learning.

As I've written about in past posts, I feel quite strongly about the role of educators in equipping students with the skills they need for both life and learning in an increasingly digital world.

Roland O'DanielI love this idea and am unashamedly going to steal it to use. I think it's important to have students reflect on their writing and their work, what better place to do it than on the writing themselves with highlights and sticky notes using Diigo, BRILLIANT!

students complete this reflective/metacognitive assignment by responding to these directions on their own sheet of paper, which they then would turn in to me.

Diigo's web highlighter and sticky note tools would allow students to carry out that same assignment without paper. In addition, it would also take students less time to complete, let others read the reflections they wrote, and make it easier for me to access and assess their work.

Now that I'm starting to rethink my uses of Diigo, I'm sure that some other new possible applications will come to me when as I start reading through these posts and pages of self assessments.

Miss OConnorLove this idea as a way of incorporating blogging, thinking and Diigo. I would like to use this next year as a way to help students to become independent and self directed. They could choose the writing they wanted to focus on, comment on articles, research. Hmm...
