Another RSS feed from the Birmigham Grid for Learning has pointed me to a really interesting website which contains a great range of resources for using blogs in the classroom from Key Stage 1 right though to Post 16 agegroups.
It discusses why blogging can contribute to learning and how to get started.
The website is penned by Adrian Bruce in America but neverthless very relevant to the UK and well worth a look!

The points raised range from technology training from DSCF, OU and the IT sector skills council through research into the attitudes and experiences of pupils parents and teachers.
