Learning Logs: This Idea Has Wheels

A learning log is a type of journal focused on making learning more visible. Our learning logs will consist of weekly posts about what we've learned during this class together. As you develop your journals I'd like two elements to show up in each post: 1. connections to the course outcomes 2. specific  references to homework/classwork. These two details will help show your learning.



Page 416 in Writers INC lists some ideas about learning logs, including:

• write a summary
• argue for or against an idea
• write what you'd still like to know about a topic
• explain your work to a specific audience (a young child, an alien from another planet, grandpa)

You could also write about:

• a new app or technology 
• how you see technology fitting into class/life
• how you learn best
• poetry, music, writing, and viewing
• the course outcomes
• your latest projects
• how you'll apply your learning in the future
• connections between class and life outside of class
• ...or something else

Remember to use labels! Label your learning log posts "Learning Log".
