As we move away from singular reporting through papers mailed home to parents and into real time feedback through reflections and commenting on our digital media… the role of the report card is changing. We just finished a midterm AND interim assessment process with very few classes in between, so I thought I would try something new this time around.
Instead of you as a student doing a self assessment, I want to see what your parents think about your progress. Obviously they are not present in class, but they do see you at home and they can read your blog. So I want you to get them to write a guest post on your PE blog. Have them answer the following questions in their post. Feel free to let them ad lib and add evidence or ideas that they deem important after they answer the questions. TIme to put the show on the other foot for a bit. :)
DIGITAL PORTFOLIO:
1) Have you read your son/daughters blog? Was there anything that surprised you or stood out immediately? What was your favourite part about reading his/her reflections? What did you learn about your son/daughter that you didn't know before reading the blog? What part of your child's growth/personality has been reaffirmed for you? What is missing in the blog that you think s/he should include for the teacher or peers? If you were evaluating him/her on his/her blogging efforts, what would you say? What would you give him/her out of 25? How did you come up with that number?
HEALTHY LIVING:
2) What do you notice about your child's health choices outside of school? What activity and or diet choices does s/he make on their own? What exercise/eating choices are encouraged buy the family/household? Did you see any evidence of this in his/her blog? What is missing that should be included? What improvements do you think your child could/should make to further his/her understanding and participation in his/her own health? What things can you as parent do to push this learning/practice? If you were to evaluate your son/daughter on their progress towards personal healthy life choices what would you say? What mark would you give them out of 25 for his/her efforts and demonstration of those efforts in the blog? How did you come up with that number
Yes i did had the chance to read Gurjap's blog. No actually i knew what he was doing for his weight loss and fitness, but the he discribed on his blog that i really like. I really like the way he was expaining about treadmill routine and enthusiasm. I did not knew before reading his blog that he really like to contibute to his daily fitness. He is a focused kid and in his blog he showed again that how focus was he on his fitness. I think Gurjap pretty much covered everything in his blog for his teacher and peers. I think he did fabulous on his blog efferts. I would give him 25 out of 25, because i was very impressed with his blog.
I think Gurjap needs to put more efforts in choosing his daily nutrients. He goes to the treadmill for the excercise almost daily, but needs to choose more healthy diet. His dad encourage him for even more harder excercise and i push him to eat healthier. I did not see any evidence in his blog. I don't think that anything is missing from his blog. The only thing that comes to my mind is healthy eating habits need improvement. I prepare his meals so i just use my power to make him eat healthy foods ;)
I think he needs to keep doing whatever he is doing for his health. I would give him 23 out of 25, the reason is healthy eating habbits.

Thank you so much for doing this post. What I like most is the last bit about his meals. With his increase in effort on the treadmill the results will be slow if he doesn't also adjust his eating. You can help for sure, but I encourage you to make him go shopping with you.. to learn how to read labels for nutritional values, AND to make his own food. Being a part of the entire food process is critical to his intrinsic motivation to improve his caloric balance and nutrient density. :) Good luck!
