A Wiki about classroom blogging

I have created a Wikispace to collate my ideas and uses of the classroom blog and emailed the NAACE mailing list to ask for contributions from its members.

“Dear all,
This year I am to develop a classroom blog with my children at school. So what can I actually use a classroom blog for? I have often wondered about the answers to that question. I understand that many people may feel that blogging is about the freedom to express yourself through writing and being prescriptive is not the way, but as a newcomer I want to make the most of this new tool. That is why I ask the question.

So I have created a Wiki space to collate and develop possible ideas and successes in the use of a classroom blog, and I would invite colleagues to go to it and add to the page where possible. I will add to it my own experiences throughout the year.

I would hope that this page becomes a useful resource for teachers about to embark on their own class blog and that we may hear of more and more creative ways to use them.

I look forward to your help”

It will hopefully grow into a list that perhaps a teacher in a few months time can read and think that the ideas inspire them to start a blog with their class.

The Wiki is called classroomblogging and is at http://classroomblogging.wikispaces.com/
Why not visit and post some of your ideas.
