Title: Journal Zone � the Online Tool for
Reflective Collaboration
Journal Zone is an online 'journal' that supports reflective
learning within a social context. This classroom tool integrates
three common practices of exemplary teaching � journal writing,
collaboration, and cognitive scaffolding. Students think more
deeply, not only about the task at hand, but also about their
own thinking and learning processes.
Objectives/Outcomes:
Participants will develop a better understanding of:
the role of journal writing in learning
effective collaboration and its role in building knowledge
the differences between novice and expert learners
the role of online technologies in scaffolding student learning
Journal Zone is a place where students may write and illustrate
their thoughts, feelings and ideas over a period of time.
Sometimes journals are ongoing - as a diary might be. At other
times different journals might be kept during specific projects
- to track plans, thoughts, notes, questions, strategies,
solutions and so on. The journal entries are reviewed and
commented upon by group members or project partners.
Because Journal Zone encourages and supports social sharing and
discussion of these thoughts, it is an ideal place for students
to work together to make sense of curricular or conceptual
problems. The distinctive tools provided in Journal Zone
scaffold individual and group learning by helping students in
planning, reflecting and commenting effectively on the work of
others.
