Creating a blog...

In our first ICT Primary session we were asked to set up our own blog. Personally, I have never been interested in the whole idea of blogging, but after watching a film in class about the use of blogs in primary schools, I saw the potential benefits it could have on a child's learning. Not only did the blogging create new ways of improving ICT and Literacy skills, it also encouraged children to take ownership of their learning by deciding what they wanted to write about each week. The blog sessions provided a very social environment for learning and offered opportunities for perhaps less confident children to develop their interactive skills.
