Service Blogging: Using Collaborative e Publication as a Bridge to Community Engagement Matthew Cazessus

Why Service-Learning? Consistent improvement in… Student engagement Knowledge retention Applying course concepts Service Project ! Kendrick 1996, Blau 1999

Why the Reluctance? Too busy wrong neighborhood Community service = punishment No transportation Cant make a difference Not my town Hattery 2003, Mobley 2007

Bridging the Distance to Service Community: shared learning with peers Confidence: expertise on subject area Coordination: develop/perform service together Service Project Community Confidence Coordination

Phase I: Community Survey student interest by theme Sort students by interest to create weblogs (blogs) about subject area Blog groups become identifiable peer group Peer-enforced responsibility to contribute

Application: Social Problems Students identify a social problem that impacts the community around campus Failing Infrastructure and Government Waste Domestic Violence Crime and Policing Educational Inequalities Sexual Identity and Behavior Gender Discrimination Homelessness and Poverty Substance Abuse Health and Nutrition

What are Your Subject Areas? Think about the course you might convert into a service-learning course What are the main topics of that course? How do those topics intersect with needs in your community?

Phase II: Confidence Topical e-publishing by students: Commentary on news/opinion Review movies, books, media Personal reflections

Blog Rubric and Best Practices Grading standards: Relate content to course concepts Contribute new information Credit and link back to sources Professional presentation How am I going to grade all of this?!

Practicality Check Solutions: In-site review RSS Feed – Google Reader google.com/reader Student empowerment
