Blogger can be used as a communication tool between students and teachers to provide feedback on student work. The researcher plans to conduct action research in 6 stages - collecting feedback through questionnaires, questions, peer and parent comments, and comments from strangers. Students will respond to feedback, improve their work, engage in dialogue and reflect on the process. Some student work is already public, and they consented to the research. The researcher questions whether stranger comments should be allowed and notes the research will be ongoing with interventions through February. Progress will be recorded on the researcher's blog.
