Hi Bloggers,
I was unable to blog after Wed. 14th July because I hibernated for the STATS storm to pass. Now that I have obviously survived, I am back. I must say, this time was so much better than the last and (though the feeling of failure wasn’t a pleasant one) I am in a much better position to do any statistics, if it should be necessary, in my research. I view my experience of having to repeat statistics as a blessing in disguise.
After my research on blogging, I am convinced that there are various educational benefits to be derived from blogging. I believe blogging is one of the many Web 2.0 technologies we must introduce to our students. However, due to the words constraint in my Web 2.0 paper, I was unable to include some related sources on classroom blog service providers, hence this blog entry. RELATED RESOURCES
1. Edulogs – offer advertisement free sites that can allow the teacher to control comments and limit access to the site. They also offer templates for students that allow them to build their own blogs.
2. Class Blogmeister – this is a good site for teachers to connect with other teachers and classes.
3. ePals Schoolbag – offers varied design templates and useful templates for surveys, calendars, parents-only sections, controlled public access
Writing is seen as the medium for self expression and I view blogging as an excellent tool for self expression. Hence, therein lays a natural marriage.
