Honing Future Teachers’ Evaluation Skills Through Blogging

Abstract

Engaging students trained to be teachers in group blogging contributes to developing their evaluation skills as a professional ability to provide assessment and constructive criticism of others’ works with regard to and respect for others’ thoughts, values and individual traits. Blogging implementation into the training of teachers-to-be simulates a real-life teacher-student interaction where the students are active participants in the process. As the blogging continues, the students involved also learn self-discipline, self-criticism, responsibility for their words, and prepare themselves for their future life and profession in the Internet-powered world.
