A fifth-grade teacher wants to promote students' ability to post appropriate comments relevant to classmates' work. Which strategy would be most effective?

  1. Working with the students to develop guidelines for posting comments on the Web site

  2. Reviewing the students' comments before allowing them to post

  3. Asking the students to consider classmates' feelings before commenting

  4. Having the students read comments on similar Web sites

The correct answer is: Working with the students to develop guidelines for posting comments on the Web site

Developing guidelines for posting comments on the website collaboratively with students encourages ownership and accountability, making it a highly effective strategy. When students are involved in creating these guidelines, they gain a deeper understanding of the expectations for respectful and relevant comments. This process fosters a sense of community and personal investment in the online interactions. It also allows for teaching moments where students can discuss what constitutes appropriate feedback, how to support peers positively, and the importance of constructive criticism. By engaging in this collaborative effort, students are more likely to remember and adhere to the guidelines, promoting a thoughtful and respectful online classroom environment.
