When I first started this blog I had no idea what to write, but actually got the hang of it. I also found that when I starting writing about things that we had done in our ICT sessions and resources that we used I rambled on for ages! (sorry about that!). It's something that I've actually enjoyed doing and may carry on with once this module is over as I find it's sometimes good to have a rant about something and get your opinions across!!
I think blogging is a really good activity to use with children in schools. Obviously there are the interent safety issues, but these can be addressed by creating a designated area on the school portal which is made secure. Blogging is an excellent way for children to develop a number of skills. They will obviously be using and developing their ICT skills, as well as Literacy and any other subject- as the blog could be linked to a topic they are studying at the time. I also think it gives the children the opportunity to take control of their learning as they can talk about and review their experiences.
Keep blogging!!
