Best tool for publishing student work....

Blogging, blogging, blogging..

So, was my reply to a query on classroom2.0 recently about the best tool for online student publishing. The lively discussion has centred primarily around blogs, wikis and nings but I would like to justify in this post, the use of blogging as the number 1 tool.

A student blog is a far more personal interactive website than any of the others. It may be used for journal entries and for publishing school work across many subject areas. It becomes the student's own w… Continue

The power of blogging for students

On commencing a blog, he was proud to upload so… Continue

Giving you prime spot I put you right up at the top

But now that you are so red, you are at the bottom

However, even there you are never forgotten.


Once I had learned how to add widgets to my blog, I inserted a clustr map. The sheer delight and excitement of red dots appearing have to be experienced to be belie… Continue

I'll bet we are communicating with a three D box by then. It is amazing the way technology has taken us. She has never known a place without a cell phone, television set, Movies at home, computers. It is wonderful the way we keep progressing.
