Class Blog

So having been inspired by the ICT blog, I decided the only real way of finding out if there is a use for blogs in education was to start one with my class.

We now have an Alligators class blog. So far the children have been really enthusiastic about it. Even some reluctant writers went home and got straight on it - writing messages to each other.

I hope their enthusiasm doesn't wane too quickly.

I have included a picture of them all dressed ready for the Christmas performance, a link to a 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' powerpoint that the children wrote the quesations for on our body topic and yesterday we wrote letters to Santa.

I think the main place for blogs is to improve links with parents. They can look on the blog and see what their children have been learning about. I imagine that when the Learning Platform arrives it will work in a similar way.

It will be interesting to see how it goes over Christmas and how much use the blog gets.
