[Year 12 IT Apps] Blogs for Students

[monaghmc at mlc.vic.edu.au]

Dear Bill,

 

We have set up internal blogs at MLC. The computer department created  a
user friendly system that enabled all staff to create blogs if they
needed. The templates for the blogs are created by the computer
department. They have been very successful. 

 

We started with house blogs. Students were elected to manage and develop
blogs that informed the rest of the students about house activities.
Once these were up and running interest grew among both staff and
students. Blogs were created by many groups throughout the college as a
means to discussing ideas. We now have so many blogs we are working on
guidelines for archiving and deleting outdated ones.

 

Regards
Marylou

Hi everyone

 

Special Thanks to Andrew, Kerrie and Joseph for their responses about
blogs.

 

If anyone else has any ideas, I would also welcome them

 

Bill

Hi Everyone,

 

In U3 O2 of ITA we have all looked at collaborative tools, one of which
is a blog.

 

Has anyone managed to use blogs effectively for students in their
school? How has it been set up? Do you use 'edublogs' or maintain the
blogs internally?

 

Appreciate any advice

 

Bill
