I read the article "14 Steps to Meaningful Blogging" which discussed strategies to take when introducing blogging to students. The strategy that I chose as my favorite is Number 11: Don't grade! In certain situations, grading an assignment can stifle creativity because students are afraid to make mistakes. The best way to go about student error in blogs is by asking them to go back and make revisions without docking points. As a teacher, I will not grade my students for their blogs and not punish them for making mistakes.
