Thanks, Em!

I never thought I'd be contributing to a blog (having never even read one until now!) Well done, Em, for making the process so easy. I can see a whole new area opening up. Now I just need to make some time....

Early days


I see Em has put up the link to my Year 12 blog. Reactions so far have been good. Some students have signed up to be contributors. Others are just viewing it. Some were a bit funny about creating a g-mail account to be able to register as a contributor. I have extended an invitation to students from other classes to join in. I have also had positive comments about the links to other resources on the film.

For me I think it is really helping me to reflect on what I do each lesson as the posts are in response to what we have actually done in class. This means I have a record of what I am doing, students who miss a lesson can go on the blog to see what they missed and if they think of questions after the lesson they have an opportunity to post them. So far only one student has posted a comment. It will be interesting to see if I can build upon this.

query

Well done on this Em, and thanks for a stimulating PLT meeting. I had thought about a blog for my kids on Macbeth but would be afraid to read their posts!
Is it worth posting our PLT minutes on here ofr just keep them on the teachershare?
cheers
