Apologies for cross-posting...

It's just 1 week to go to the 'live to learn, learn to blog' event!

Registrations close at noon on Wednesday 29/8.

Blogging is a fantastic resource for teachers of all disciplines. It develops ICT skills, encourages writing and expression and can be as creative as one's imagination, for example Heather Blakey's fantastic site - http://www.dailywriting.net/BlakeyWeb.htm
