Blogging Feedback
- A real-life teacher of 30 students whose English language skills range widely causing them to lack confidence and motivation towards writing.He uses blogger as a tool to provide feedback to his students' writing. Students also commented on work done by their peers. Baker even went on to ask for volunteers such as the parents of students who would respond to the student writing. This would mean that the process of providing feedback does not just stop at the teacher's thoughts. This would be done in a structured manner as he also provided prompts where students and parents could follow when writing the feedback. Baker's students were more motivated to write better and improve as they now had a wider audience.
