I’ve just read Georgie’s post regarding blogging for learning which may be accessed here. I found this post quite exciting, mainly for her comment on the effects of having an audience on the student’s motivation levels. This is something I hadn’t thought about previously with relation to ICT in the classroom, however I completely agree with the notion that having a published work will increase the motivation of students and therefore improve the quality of their work through inspiring pride. I would like to see more creative ideas for using blogs or other web 2.0 features/tools to aid education, currently I’m very excited about what can be done and how it might benefit the classroom however I have very little idea of how to actually implement the technology in my own lessons. Some exploration into voicethread will be a good starting point for myself to perhaps germinate some ideas of what I can do in my lessons.
