After a good week of blogging I am planning on developing some blog writing rules with the class before I let them loose on writing their own posts. This will hopefully set a few boundaries and guidelines before we start and should build in good habits early on. I will use M Hetherington’s work with his class as a starting point but I think that asking the children to help author the rules (as we do with the class rules) would be the most valuable.
Tomorrow in an ICT lesson I am planning on setting them a task via our class blog about adding a post and a comment. This is after using their unique login details which I have setup so that they have the ability to post etc. I used an excel file and mail merge to quickly create these. Hopefully it should be a good session.
Hi Tom,
Great start, good rules and a pile of postings.
Congratulations.
I am trying to organise some commenting by my class, but I am limited by hardware at the moment (one pc), very frustrating.
