The evolution of my blog!
So Jo has asked me to deliver a brief presentation about my induction to blogging and the blogosphere to a gathering of the MYP development team at our school. Hmmmm… what to say… I think I will focus on the evolution of my blog, which began not so long ago, in August 2007 after attending a Web 2.0 PD. To help me through this ordeal, I will need some directional notes. Here they are in the form of a little mock tag_cloud!

The bottom line for me with this blogging caper, apart from the opportunity to mount my art, is that the activity of reflective practice, which blogging affords me, allows my thoughts about my teaching and my students’ learning, to become crystallised with a much greater clarity than if I do not write them down. E.M. Forster wrapped this up succinctly with his words, how can I know what I think ’til I see what I say… this holds very true for me… and I’d recommend it to my peers and my students.
Next will be the challenge of setting up classroom blogs that my students can use for their own reflection, communication, networking and exploration. But Jo, I need your help to do this!
