UK Blogs

I received an email

from Ewan McIntosh. He came across my site and shared what he was doing

with educational blogs in the UK. He wrote:

At Musselburgh

Grammar School, we were the first school in the UK to use blogs (with

open comments and post post moderation) to get pupils talking to each

other. We use traditional web pages to present ‘read-only’ information

and subject help to pupils from teachers, and weblogs to create

interactional, cooperative projects with the community and other

schools abroad. We are the first and still the only school in the UK to

work with blogs this way. 

He pointed me to this link.

There are many projects which include weblogs and great photo diaries.

I want to include his links on my blog so I can share the wonderful

projects.

Lots and lots of

photos and information about the various trips and topics - spend some

time on

these blogs. You’ll learn a lot and get some good ideas for blogging.

Our UK blogging buddies are doing a great job! Thanks for sharing, Ewan!

    Hi Everyone,

    I have two classrooms blogging about current events as part of my Master’s research. Have a peek at one of the blogs:

    We began with teacher created questions but the students wanted to move in new directions. It hasn’t been an issue so far.
