McCollin, Rachel. (August 2016) How Blogging with Kids can Boost Computing, Literacy and Communication Skills. https://campuspress.com/blog/how-blogging-with-kids-can-boost-computing-literacy-and-communication-skills/
Summary: When students have a forum for publishing, such as a blog, about their academic progress, they become more metacognitive, aware of their audience, critically think about their content, and develop complex communication skills.
Evaluation: A straight forward checklist for using blogs with students in a coding class. Skills transfer across curriculum. Having students aware of their audience, writing for purpose, reading each others work, and critically thinking on a vehicle (technology) which excites them, makes for engaging learning.
