Module 2 - Blog 2

The Blog's I have reviewed, English and History as both are my KLA's, were great. They were very informative and interesting. The History Blog had some fantastic links and would be a fantastic tool when teaching WW1 and WW2 in year 9. I can see how creating my own blog for a unit of work could be an effective teaching tool for students. It is so much easier, and uses less resources, to be able to post links and data on line for the students to access anywhere, anytime.

Module 2 - Blog 1

I found creating a blog extremely easy. It was very satisfying to be able to format your own page and create your own, what I call, mini website with out much fuss. Blogger program was intuitive and easy to use. I think it is such a great way for teachers to upload notes and iformation for the topic they are teaching, but even more interesting is the ability for students to create their own blogs, which will enable the teacher to view, on line what work the student has completed and ascertain how they are going in a particular unit. It is so much easier than having to collect workbooks and go through them. This technology allows teachers to quickly access the student's blog follow their progress.
