What an excellent project! I wish I was a student in your class!
I am teacher, not currently in the classroom, but working on a master’s degree. I am researching the issue of assessment of student reflections.
I’d like to know how you mark the student blogs.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for entering the competition.
Definitely qualifies for the competition. I assume the Class blog as opposed to Actvitism blog are two different grades?
Also thanks for the link to the blogging rules. They are excellent. I definitely need to add them to my links to share.
