Web 2 Course Half Time!

Well I'm half way through the Web 2 Course but over the past few weeks I haven't started any new modules. The reason - I felt I needed to put into practice what I've learnt! I've started a class blog - using Blogger. This has challenged me to recall things I've learnt and it has been really handy to go back to my Myclasses page to rework some of the things I had "forgotten" how to do. I chose Blogger purely because of my "familiarity" with this particular blog - however I don't think it was the best choice for my classroom practise. This site requires a gmail account which I couldn't give to my students. So what I have done is created an account using my details but used a class name ("Classmate") and password for all the children to use. I've asked the children to sign their names after posting just so I can keep track of who is saying what. Oh well trial and error - it's all about my learning journey!
