This document discusses how teachers can use blogs to track student progress. Teachers can view student blog archives to see what tasks they have completed and if they are up-to-date. Teachers can also leave comments on student blogs to provide instant feedback and communicate directly about assignments. By linking teacher and student blogs, teachers can assign tasks and deadlines that appear on student dashboards and monitor progress from their own dashboard.

1. Tracking pupil progress via the
blog

2. How we use the blogs
to track progress…
• The blog archive
gives an at-a-
glance chance to
see what students
have been up to.
• Are they up-to-
date on tasks?

3. Use the comment box to give instant
feedback and establish a dialogue with
students about their work as they do it.

4. Ensure your blog is linked to your students’
blogs to
set tasks and
deadlines direct
to their
Dashboard.

5. As well as monitoring students’ progress from
your own Dashboard.
