Blogging about teaching
If you are a member of the Institute for Learning, you will have received the Spring 2008 edition of InTuition. On page 8 is a few hundred words by me about blogging in education. In the article, I ask for examples of blogs, either about your teaching or used with your students. Post a comment to this article to add your examples!
Rob Kenyon who runs photography courses at Community Education Lewisham. Rob is using blogs and a flickr group to provide a publication opportunity for his photography students. Rob said
I feel that the blog is a natural teaching aid, and could change everything – once people get the idea. The online classroon approach could even, in theory, cut out a good deal of dreaded paperwork and help a lot with transparency and accountability, as in our sector.
Blogs showing the work of Rob’s students are linked below….

Lewisham can’t be the only place people are doing this – so keep them coming!
