Blogs for all teachers

Blogs are commonly used in English and Humanities based subjects; however, many people have shown where blogs can be useful for any subject area.

Check out the links below to see some examples of blogs for learning:

http://paclibraryblog.blogspot.com/
This is the blog I created as part of the Princes Virtual Library. Sadly it is lacking in any recent entries but it had a good response when it was initially set up.

I set up this blog to use with my Tear 10 English Text and Society Class in 2007. Each Friday they were given a blogging task. They set up their own blogs, read the task set and then answered the questions. The focus was on getting them thinking critically and getting them writing. They were also required to read and comment on other students’ blogs each week.
