After researching several websites that could help me to create a student blog rubric, I found The Chronicle of Higher Education, EdTechTeacher, and Educational Technology and Mobile Learning to be the most helpful. These websites are filled with great information that I can use to help evaluate student blog post and commentary feedback. The Chronicle of Higher Education shared a blog from ProfHacker. This blog shared how a professor would assign blog post from scholars but at the end would be lost at assessing their post. Questions similar to, how to let students know of value work? and what work should be valued by students? In the end, it was clear to use a simple rating characteristic that can be used in two minutes. EdTechTeacher provided several links to other blogs and rubrics that can help teachers assessing different types of activities that require technology with education.Education Technology and Mobile Learning provided another grading scale that could be used to assess blogs.
With so many different ways to grade, I find myself to have a scale that will rate students focus on the post that provides examples and a voice that shares understanding of the post. Must show engagement with opinions and questions to be more conversational. A blog that includes citations and quality in writing will be on the scale of my rubric. Below is an example of the rubric I put together for a blog post for my students.
