Blog Post Templates
Student Blogging Templates
These posting templates embed skills development, and preclude the necessity for assessment. The templates aim to structure student blog posts to provide more systematic capture of details useful for students wishing to re-use the ideas for developing papers at a later time in the course/program. By creating a variety of levels of standards for connective writing for student bloggers, the post templates provide cues for learners to create richer, more comprehensive posts.

Blog Post Design Template
I am intrigued by the potential for anchored instruction. Marginalia, for example, is an alternate design that could be woven in innovative ways into annotative blogging. I also wonder about the potential for developing schema for blog posts, so that students can do the following while preparing their blog posts:
1. Select a post tab and have a functional set of meta-tabs for text fields (for resource summaries, critiques, comparisons, reflections on actions, etc.);
2. Create customized Tabs with additional text fields and/or blog post types;
3. Search the posts by Tab to view blog post summaries by function;
4. Add Meta-Tabs to each of the text fields, so that learners can recall, for example, all the URLs from a specific author, or search for all articles with a specific subject. In this case, URL, Author, Article, Subject are examples of Meta-Tabs under the Resource Summary Tab
5. Append/Edit Tabs and Meta-Tabs as needed (in addition to Tags and Categories);
6. Create and Select annotations and comments (highlighting text) and be able to tag those changes as well.
7. Enable voice commenting and annotating, enabling instructors to customize reviewers’ commentary templates using Tabs and Meta-Tabs.
