למידה, אינטרנט ... ומה שביניהם

So now, a few months on how do we sit with blogging? The answer has to be, very comfortably. By any measure blogging is now a positive feature of all ICT lessons. It has given lessons structure where explanation and summary are regular components and the teacher instruction “post to your blog…” is eagerly responded to by pupils. Feedback is now embedded into lessons as pupils look forward to viewing teacher comments added to their posts.

Here lies the key to successful class blogging. It is the fact that the blogs are conspicuous and that pupils know that they can be, and are, monitored and any abuse of the kind we saw in the first few weeks has, apart from the occasional transgression, subsided. This is partly through the routine viewing and marking by teachers, but also because pupils know any member of the school leadership team may view them. The fact that blogging and feedback from teachers is a regular part of pupil classwork has a regulatory affect.
