CommentPress theme
In July 2007, The Future of the Book released the new CommentPress theme. At the time, I considered how I might encourage my students to use it – the obvious way being for peer review of their work.
Today I saw that James Farmer highlighted a high school biology class using CommentPress in a class wide blog hosted at Edublogs.org. What a great example, too! I’m delighted to have this to share with my own students who work in schools every day.
What’s special about the CommentPress theme? Site visitors can make page level or paragraph level comments on posts. (See this example). That capability might be very useful to M. Ed. students (and their professors) seeking feedback on their work.
In September, The Chronicle of Higher Education did a short piece on using CommentPress [pdf] in academia. It’s a quick and informative read.
