I’ve been very slow off the mark in blogging for/with my own students, compared to many of my online teacher friends and colleagues. That’s set to change with a new blog:
I’m going to use the blog in three ways. Firstly to link to various online materials that could be interesting or useful to the students. Secondly, I’d like to host some examples of student work. Finally, I’m hoping that it will provide an opportunity for those dialogues that could/should take place outside the classroom but never actually materialize. For example the comments could be used to discuss matters arising from homework assignments, examinations or current affairs. I guess we shall see.

Excellent, Noel – glad to see it. The best thing about such things is that you can actually post in the lesson and say that if they want to see what you’ve shown them in the lesson again they can view it at home. Great stuff!
This is great, I really think that it pushes the whole concept of blogs for pupils forward. With the multiple pages and links it operates more like a mini website as well. I have to admit that when I first noticed it over Christmas I liked it so much that I investigated wordpress and copied your concept (and rather shamefully used the same template) for our eco club blog at http://ecoclubatbushloe.wordpress.com/ (Hope you don’t mind too much). Thanks for once again pushing things up another notch.
Looks excellent Mark. Thanks to you I worked out how to add an RSS button in WordPress.com!
