The Enquiring Minds people over at FutureLab suggested the Tumblr website as a suitable place for students to create a 'learning log'. I agreed, and decided to create my own profile to use as a model for the students in my year 10 Creative & Media Diploma class. Easy and very useful... or so I thought.
After creating my profile, I looked around the site some more and -HORROR - found some very bad language used by the hosts (I suppose in order to 'reach out and connect' with 'the kids'). Unecessary (and very lazy in my opinion).
Having taught year 11 Creative and Media Diploma students today, we all agreed that a blog was an excellent way of keeping a record of knowledge gained and demonstrating what we had learnt - but - we used a far more reliable website: www.blogger.com.
All Diploma students at CCS have now created their own blogs ( and enjoyed every second) - so get creative - encourage reflection - just be careful where you choose to blog!
Over and out.
