Module 3

Had a few problems working this one out. Not as user friendly or maybe my head isn't in the right space. I like the idea our Principal has of using it with the leadership team to communicate and get feedback thus cutting back on meeting time which in the buyness of schools can often be hard to find. Implication for other professional communication like Curriculum teams on staff is evident.
I much prefer the idea of Blogs working with the students. To comment on work rather than edit in isolation is important. Will keep an open mind though!

Module 2

I was fortunate to share my nephew's blog as he traveled the world last year on his 'gap year'. It was such an easy way for him to keep family and friends up to date with his adventures and so exciting for us to be a part of it. I did miss getting post cards though!

The potential for such a tool is clear. I am reminded of my first year teaching in the 80's when I had my class keep a journal and I would comment in it each week. This was a great way to get to know the students at a level that is even harder to reach these days. Adding an educational focus takes it all to another level.
