Why use Blogs in Class ?

I recently came across some interesting discussions on the use of blogs within class. We are starting to make more use of these at McAuley and you might like to have a look at these sites if you were thinking about doing the same yourself.

The first one is a general discussion about the rational for edublogging. The second link is from a school that is starting to use them for assignments. It is a year 10 commerce class blog, there are comments from both the teacher and students. See who can work out first where the class is, it might be interesting…

Its worth while mentioning again “don’t think this is unworkable because we don’t have the resources”

Yes it is less effective without easy anytime access to technology but we are much closer to achieving that and we need to consider how to be ready for that time (we should be adding over a hundred new laptops to the student pool by next year)

If you have any thoughts or ideas about using them remember to ask for help if you are unsure.
