team work

Keep reading this great book draft from Dr. Curtis Bonk. I am in the section about reflection and I find myself liking it more than the previous section - reading. I guess I am more of a reflection person than a reading person. Love the ideas of having a group blog, or having "critical friends" to respond to each other's blog. I think there could have several differrnt kinds of a reflective blog:

• summary - synthesize what you have learned, what surprised you, what extended what you already know, show self growth
• debate - agree or disagree with someone else's opinion, class reading, or anything said/shared/discussed in class. Provide supporting evidence.
• trend - bring awareness to a current trend and write a report on it
• resources - share useful information/resource and indicate how this resource could help with the class
• pros and cons - opinion about a particular issue and provide pros and cons after research
• critical friend feedback - think about how your feedback could help the other person
• reaction/position - to a case/reading/class activity/blog/etc

It is also a great idea to have students self-check how have they contributed to the class learning.

Many good ideas..
