How Do You Make School or Class Blogging Stick?

In a follow up to my previous post about examples of school and class blogs and the motivations behind using different platforms, I want to find out more from you all.

I have had experience of using blogging as I previously mentioned, but admittedly it didn’t stick. I moved year groups and never carried it on as part of my everyday practice. Other classes that had great experiences for a year also never returned to it, the blogs languished and became redundant.

There has been an amazing response in the previous post (over 40 great examples of class blogs with equally valuable advice and suggestions) and a good deal of reference to the whole school approach or to year on year development. As well as the motivations behind it all – can you help again?

Please leave a comment with your thoughts about:

  • How you make blogging part of your classroom’s everyday routine?
  • What is the key to whole school take-up? Leadership? Good training?
  • How you measure if your school or class blog is a success? Do you need to?
  • How you make class blogging stick in an already busy environment?
