Having trouble reflecting? Consider the following:

• What did you learn?
• What did you do?
• Did you find/learn anything really interesting? What? Why?
• Did you make any changes?
• Did you come across any problems?
• Did you make a mistake or fail?
• Were you successful?
• Have you been making progress? How

Your blog entries should be reflective! Use the chart below to make sure you are reflecting and NOT summarizing.

How	• Students can synthesize the information recorded in the notes to internalize the learning	• Students can reflect on learning, on themselves as learners and on how they learn best as a way to increase abilities/future learning
