<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Is there anyone that has set up a Blogs s=
ite at
their school for the purpose of allowing students to ask the expert (teach=
ers)
questions, and I don't mean just IT teachers but teachers across all teach=
ing
areas. And is this helping students with their approach to
learning? I am keen to set up a blogs site at my school so that idea=
s
can be shared and questions asked. I saw an example on the British
Museum site where students blog questions to the experts. This would=
be
cool in a school environment.</FONT></DIV>
