Abstract |
Blogging is now a worldwide phenomenon with web logs reaching a potential audience of hundreds of millions. Blogs have been described as the ultimate in publishing for the people and have been used to challenge governments and the press. Steve O Hear, one of Britain's digital evangelists , explores how web logs can be used in schools. Steve finds some enthusiastic primary age bloggers and discovers how blogging is being used to help in literacy, ICT skills and a range of other subjects. He finds many of the benefits extend beyond the curriculum as pupils develop confidence, improve their self expression and get a real sense of fulfilment from publishing their work. In West Blatchington School in Hove, East Sussex, blogging is practised by everyone from the head down. Steve visits the school's after-school blogging club, a special bloggers assembly and sees web logs being used in the school's autistic unit. |
