What is a learning log. NickelShoe (Talk) 17:43, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Hope this is clear now from the latest edit —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lutterworth (talk • contribs)

It could be clearer (more concrete), but it's a good start, and thanks for doing it. NickelShoe (Talk) 20:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
What is the notability here? Are there any published sources that mention this technique or is it a local thing? I'm saying this as someone might challenge this as to notability, though it would likely survive any AfD. Still, any noted relevance to the world outside of Leichester would be helpful, as well as mentioning awards, organizations that may have commented on it or noticed it, the scope of its use, a definite statement of its origin. I found the article interesting, so I hope my constructive criticism here will help round the article out a bit and put it out of reach of any potential AfDers (people who might put it up for deletion on grounds of notability). Please add any additional references that you can find. --DanielCD 01:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Hope my latest edit clears up some of these points. There is a good deal of research evidence, too much to cite in all, but the logs produced by Danny Bullock facilitate a greater level of participation than previous learning journals in their visual mapping approach and the use of graphic and physical materials by the children to demonstrate their insights. Interest has been expressed in the concept by writers on thinking skills such as Robert Fisher and Guy Claxton, both of whom have had sight of the materials.lutterworth .lutterworth Additional recent reference added, specifically citing the learning logs and illustrating a number of the actual examples.lutterworth

This pic just doesn't fit. I'll have to monkey with it some more. But we need more mention of who Danny Bullock is in the article body. Also, how are these logs different from journals? A comparison might give the reader a better illustration of what these logs involve. --DanielCD 01:30, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup tag

This article needs sorting by experienced editors. Inglehurst Junior School is given a lot of attention, suggesting this is OR. The tone inappropriate too. The JPStalk to me 13:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I have commented to JPS but repeat here. The Inglehurst references are important as they were the source of the learning log development which has now spread nationally and internationally

In the UK DFES are promoting the learning logs as a unique personalised learning tool in a forthcoming publication [[[User:Learninglogs|Learninglogs]] 19:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)]
