Title: Students Helping Students Learn Through Journal Zone

If you like journals - you will love Journal Zone! This online journaling environment integrates three common practices of exemplary teaching - journal writing, collaboration, and cognitive scaffolding. Journals help students to plan, monitor and reflect during projects. However, students not only write in their own journals. They help other students do better work by reading and responding to their journals.
