Blogs in Prep

In a prep classroom the idea of stduents individually blogging about their learning is unrealistic as students would not have the skills developed to enable them to effectively use the tool. However, the use of a blog could be done as a whole class to document and reflect upon the learning that is taking place. An effective use of a class blog would be for the whole class to discuss and record their learning daily though using a blog. As a whole class the teacher and students could use an interactive white board so all members of the class could be contributing to the blog. A blog is also an effective means of students communicating with other schools outside of the community or even country. It would be a means of gathering and building upon knowledge through the support of peers and other opportunities that students could not experience within the classroom.
