Establishment:
 
 
Students initiate the practice of recalling and recording learning events, payingattention to and expressing their feelings
 
Structured questions are provided to a: serve as a guide for contributions andb: allow students to become comfortable with the format
Introspection
 
 
Students begin to analyze own opinions. Structured questions remain.
 
Focus of entries shifts from “written for teacher” to “written for the world” 
Reflective Monologue
 
 
Students no longer rely on structured questions to reflect on learning topics orclass issues. Students write for themselves.
 
After this stage, teacher can begin to phase out dedicated class time forblogging and rely on student self-direction.
Reflective Dialogue
 
 
Deeper reflective process requires the students to consider their style of expression, intended audience and thoughts
 
Individual styles of writers appear
 
Some students may write a great deal at this point: others may stop or slowdown (teacher redirection to stage 3 may help)
Knowledge Artifact
 
 
Students move from personal knowledge publishing to reflecting on theknowledge learned
 
Used as a teaching tool for OTHER students
 
Students interact with each other’s blogs through comments
