Digital summer school makes full use of student blogging

Facebook

School holidays are finally over but to combat a slump in learning while everyone runs off to the beach, more than 2000 students across NZ have taken part in a digitally based summer school programme.

It’s in the form of a blogging programme for lower decile schools with a team of teachers and university students behind it who engage in online chat as a means of feedback.

Their feedback is typically inviting students to think more deeply and critically about the work they are doing.

With five assignments a week, it’s not light work for the students but the work is largely visually based giving the student’s pictures, links and videos that capture their interest.

Instead of taking weeks to re-engage with their learning after so much time off, these students are returning ready to learn.
