BLOGGED UP!

So I was a diligent little Pi20 student this afternoon on my break! and I started looking at the recommended sites. I was super impressed with JoJo's site and could see that the students who had posted on his site were clearly enjoying the 'scribe' responsibility. There is an ease of communication here which I am interested in. The minute students communicate easily I always feel the learning starts flowing
I then looked a the site called 'Edublog insights' and thought that everything she said (who?? can't remember.) was totally relevant and made so much sense. My she had a lot of responses. The 'I don't set homework' blog was particularly interesting for me because Elizabeth Hearn and I ran a faculty meeting looking at one of Alfie Kohn's articles about homework. If we take up this discussion again it is clear to me that blogging is the way to go. I liked that people posted links to articles about homework on it too.
Finally, Natalie's blog is just fabulous! Its interesting and informative and amusing and easy to read. It gave me the same feeling reading it as Alastair Cook's letter from America did on a Sunday morning in England. Its like comfort food.
Byee.

Día de San Valentín


So this is the blog I have just set up and frankly, I am nervous about pressing any other buttons at the moment like 'settings' and 'layout' and what does 'monetize' mean??
