I found a blog written by Marta and it has a science base. She started her blog in 2007. The blogs are about science topics along with observations of politics and life. Marta had read a book called; “365 Ways to Save the World”. She has been inspired to change things about her life to help the world. There are some science entries and even some discussions based upon what the teacher posted on his blog.
I found this really interesting since this student put a lot of work in her posts and she seems to be learning a lot about herself and the world. She has not posted anything since 2008 but I believe that it is due to the fact that she is no longer in the course.
I really like the idea that the students were able to include nonscience related topics on their blog. Letting the students express their thoughts is a great way to help them to practice writing and critical thinking.
What a wonderful blog! I really like her reflection and diversity of topics she reflects on. As I scrolled down, I found a blog about her favorite chemical reaction. It was the reaction between chlorine and water to disinfect a pool. As a former swimmer and current swim coach, I could really relate to the post.
