Another "Look at This!" Web Log

January 16, 2003 By Will Richardson

Spent a little more time at the Middlebury site I referred to yesterday and came across this really interesting project a la Web log on “Sports and Ritual.” What really strikes me is a) the project itself, b) the form that the Web log gives to the project, c) the intensive reflection/metacognitive work that this student did, and d) the collaboration among her peers that helped bring it to fruition.

In my interview yesterday, I was asked for examples of how I had used technology to enhance student learning, and of course, I talked about Web logs. I talked a lot about what Pat mentioned in his proposal, but I also talked about the amazing potential I still see in terms of portfolio and reflection, much like this project. I think my one regret if I get this new position will be that I won’t be able to take a class of my own further down this path, at least not for a while. It just makes me want to revive that independent study idea I had last year when this all started buzzing in my brain. The cool thing is, it’s still buzzing…
