FEEDBACK: Current issues appearing in blogs as i mark them

THERE are a number of issues that are recurring as I assess - please take note

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

1. 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
2. make sure you regularily review your own blog - there are lots of 'post later/I am going to do.....later' type comments so do go back to it and finish / reflect on what you have learned.
3. Your Blogs should be pretty full by now - only 2-5 posts is simply not enough however good they are
4. make it interactive - add images/links etc
5. 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
