AFL summary and Tips for Success

Lily - i need your blog address

I am in the process of assessing and commenting on all your posts: this assessment will generate the assessment grade on your next reports and identify who is in need of intervention
THERE are a number of issues that are recurring as I assess - please take note

TIPS FOR SUCCESS
  1. Never hide posts - if they are unfinished add DEFAULT to the title bar BUT make them live
  2. the more secondary content you use the more it looks like you are a weak student so: if you use other peoples material - analyse and criticise it / then produce your own versions - this is especially true if it is other students work
  3. check your settings - make the blog entries the feature - this means it should dominate so choose background wisely, make the blog the maximum widths, make the writing/colour choices so that it is easy to read
  4. make sure you regularly review your own blog - there are some 'post later/I am going to do.....later' type comments so do go back to it and finish / reflect on what you have learned.
  5. Your Blogs should be pretty full by now - only 2-5 posts is simply not enough however good they are - look at the list lower down this blog of what we have covered
  6. make it interactive - add images/links etc
  7. deactivate the word verification option - it drives me nuts and slows down the process of assessment
many things trigger blogs being blocked - look out for them - here are a few


  • trigger words - violence/racism/aggression/sexism...
  • links that are not word urls
  • links to sites that link to others that are blocked -(look for Urls that use numbers and symbols) - if necessary just remove the hyperlink and add the address only
