Julia talked about class blogs using www.jogtheweb.com. The opportunity for students to have 24/7 access to the blog site and can add what they wish – however all content can be moderated. The website can also be used as a just for information blog – useful to record photos of learning for parents to see or instructions for homework. This site has been used with Primary and Secondary school students. Julia suggested that blogging helps to broaden the students’ audience, often encouraging them to write knowing it will be accessible by many – ‘a place to present their best work’.
