1. Using a blog allows me to type faster than I could usually write in my book, correct errors easily and read comments without handing in my book.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, when a task/question is set I can do some research on other web pages to help and then check my answer against others to see if our points are similar.
3. It has helped a significant amount, because it lets me know if I've put too much information in and wasted time or if I haven't put in enough and lost marks.
4. I can't think of anything that can make this blog better.
WWW- I feel the blog has is helping students to actually learn form their work. The tasks also i fell is a collective effort as all students are reading their class mates works and are improving their answers.I also feel that the blog is much more intuitive than FROG and is a much needed change of scenery. The blog has helped me to understand my mistakes and on how to improve my answers and to cut down on the length of my answers while getting high marks
ReplyDeleteEBI- None really
1.) I feel the blog is a very useful tool to aid us in our class and home work. It is easy and nice to use, and is a huge step up from the regular school system FROG (which is a pain to use). It allows me to get my work done quickly and effectively, then to take time to check my response and edit and add to it as I see fit.
ReplyDelete2.) The blog allows me to view other peoples answer which is very beneficial, as this can help me when I am struggling to answer the question or can find little information on the subject. I am also able to have tabs on my browser so I can search the web for more information and use it to aid me in my answer.
3.) One of the most useful features of the blog is that Mr. Hannifan can swiftly check through work and give constructive feedback in a much shorter time then checking books. His feedback shows me what I have done wrong and where I need to improve. I can then adjust my answer and Sir will remark. He also has the ability to post the mark scheme which helps us check our work.
4.) The only thing I think that could be added to the blog is an entire glossary section, as I sometimes struggle to find the correct keyword to use.
1) The blog is an extremely useful tool for answering questions on the blog. It allows me to quickly add change or delete my own comments, as we are using a keyboard rather than a pen. It is laid out very nicely on the computer and allows us to find the correct assignment quickly and easily.
ReplyDelete2) The blog has helped my understanding massively as we have the ability to read other people's answers and get information that we may not have learnt before. As it is on a Web page, we can have other tabs open to quickly give us other information if we are finding it hard to answer a particular question.
3) When the teacher can mark our answers in the blog, it only takes a matter of 5 minutes and we can then amend our answer and improve it. It also is a lot shorter than the whole process of giving in books and waiting for Sir to remark. On the blog, the teacher can also post mark schemes (as Riaz above said) which helps us see why we lost or gained marks. It can also be used for our own use such as telling us to use keywords and find the important words such as "explain" or "describe".
4) Only EBI is to make the "Mobile" version of the site a bit easier to use. Other than that, the blog is very nice to use and a lot better alternative to Frkg and answering questions in our books.
1)I think the blog is very useful for answering questions as it is much easier to write up and change answers. Also if we are stuck on a question we can look at other answers for help.
ReplyDelete2)The blog has helped me understand things as I can just scroll up and down the page and look at other answers for things I don't understand, also we can just open other tabs and quickly research things we don't know.
3)Your feedback helps a lot as anything that we need to improve on we can look at other answers to improve it, e.g if we wrote too much or too little we can look at an answer with the correct amount of writing and quickly type up a new answer.
4)I'm not sure what could be improved.
1,) I think the blog is useful when doing homework as you can see other answers and its quicker than hand writing. you can also delete and edit comments.
ReplyDelete2,) it's help me understand better because you an give us feedback and mark schemes quickly which enables us to keep the knowledge fresh in our minds.
3.) your feedback has helped a lot because it gives us a better insight in how to write exam questions efficiently and effectively.
4.) A glossary of key terms for each unit.
1. The blog is working well because it is a good alternative to having paperbased homework as there is less sheets, (sustainable ;)) and it takes half the time to type than it does to write.
ReplyDelete2.It helps my research because it has the keyword page to help when I need help with an answer.
3. The replys on our comments helps by helping our understanding on what we have done wrong and how to improve for futer assessments.
4. The blogger app doesnt let me access this blog for some reason
1. The blog lets me quickly change any mistakes that I accidentally make in my comment as it is in the computer.
ReplyDelete2. The blog helps as it allows easy access to any needed information in the topics.
3. Having feedback on my answers helps me to clearly see how I need to improve on my work. Also the mark scheme helps too.
4. There are no improvements that I can think of.
1) The blog means that I can type instead of hand writing homework and it's easier to edit work to make corrections.
ReplyDelete2) I think it is good to see other people’s answers and the corrections made by the teacher to help in my understanding and research.
3) It helps a lot to see feedback on my answers, as sometimes I don't include enough information to get full marks on some questions.
4) I can't access parts of the blog on my phone, but apart from that I have no other improvements.
1)The blog is working well because it saves us time typing it than writing it on paper, if you make a mistake you can easily edit it and we can look at each others answers to to make their own a stronger answer.
ReplyDelete2)It gives us access on information that we might not understand.
3)the feedback that is given is helpful because it lets me know if i have written enough to gain full marks.
4)No real EBI's, maybe we could have a glossary
1. The blog is working well because we can type instead of write, so it makes homework easier. We also have access to other resources such as videos.
ReplyDelete2. We have access to other resources which can help us with work that we do not fully understand.
3. The feedback has helped my understanding because it has let me know how I can improve my answer, and where I have earnt my marks.
4. Being able to use things such as iPads or phones to access the blog, but I have no EBI's for the resources and information on the blog.
1. The Blog is working well because i am much faster at typing than writing in my book so homework is easier to do also the blog contains helpful resources such as images and videos
ReplyDelete2. we can get useful revision to help us with things we don't understand easier by searching it on the Internet.
3. the comments have helped me understand what i am doing wrong and right in my work also it lets me know if i am writing to much and wasting text without getting marks on it and is much easier to get feedback without having to hand in my book.
4. being able to acces it on a phone or iPad as well as a glossary.
1.) The blog is very useful because if your stuck on what to reply with for a answer you can look at previous comments before to get a idea for what your answer should include. Not only that it also contains useful pieces of information that can help us with revision and homework tasks.
ReplyDelete2.) Its useful because if im unsure on something i can Google it and then i would be able to get a better understanding on the topic really quickly
3.) the comments gives me a understanding of what im doing correct and what may need improving on and the use of the mark scheme helps clearly show that
4.) Only EBI is that the blog was connected to Frog
1) The Blog is Working well because it helps us understand the areas we are covering by offering us revision through bitesize etc. It's an easier way of doing homework because if we are confused we can read other classmates answers to find out things like; how much to write, what key words to include in the answer.
ReplyDelete2) It has helped our understanding and research by offering links to websites for revision and to see what we have covered in class recently, if we were absent.
3) By Sir replying to our comments we can see what we can add to our answers in order to get full marks or what we can remove from our answers, whilst still gaining top marks.
4) It would be better if the blog was easier to access and navigate because for some pages are quite hard to find.
1) You can open other tabs during writing an answer in response to a question.
ReplyDelete2) It can help understanding of a topic because there are mark schemes.
3) I can use your feedback to improve on future answers.
4) If there was a glossary of all keywords and we did more work in our books.
1)I think that it works well because I can see other people's answers to help me I I find that particular question hard. And I have also found the links very useful when revising. 2)it helps me understand where I need to improve and then I can see where another student has done this.
ReplyDelete3)Using the feedback I have understood where I need to improve and how I can imput that into my other answers.
4)if there was a page on key word for each topic.
1) The blog allows us to access resources easily and efficiently
ReplyDelete2) It helps with my understanding and research as it allows me to view other comments that can help me with my work, and also the resources including mark schemes are very helpful
3) The comments left on our work lets us clearly see where we can improve and I can use other people's comments from sir to help me make my work better.
4) It could be improved by being accessible on mobiles or my an app having a glossary of key words.
1)We can look at other puils answers to get ideas and information for our own answers.
ReplyDelete2)There are resources to eaily access for information which has helped my research.
3)It allows us to know what to do to improve our answers and gain full marks.
4)The only thing that could be improved would be if there was a glossary.

3) Like said in question 2 the further understanding allows us to access full marks in our work.
4)Sometimes I find it hard to sign in to the blog and find that I have to refresh the page 3/4 times
Allows easy access to revision sources and others comments that can aid your answer
ReplyDeleteMakes losing hoework impossible which compells people to do it as no excuses can be made
Even better if the blog was easier to access via other devices (not PC)
