Hi all,
Blogging used to be a process where individual create a space on the internet to "pour out thier thoughts" into it like a digital-diary or bsically to share thier experiences in life itself to keep thier friends updated.
Many of my students (in fact, my colleagues and myself) have their own blog for that purpose while some used it as a common site for their CCA group, religious group, etc to share thier experiences or make announcement!
My own class have thier class blog which they will never allow me to access (wonder what they had gossiped about me and other of their subject tutors!). It is basically a space for them to vent thier anger, complained or share thier thoughts.
Regardless, I've been harbouring this idea of using it as a teaching+learning tool since some time ago on top of what is already available (e.g. Aculearn, Class Server, etc etc), so I do hope I can be exposed to more ideas on how to use blogging to greater extent!

Hi! Michelle here. Have created a blog for my kids but I wanna know how to add a couple more features to the blog.
Thanks Chris for sharing all the cool Web 2.0 technology with us during the workshop. I'm so thrilled to learn and explore the possibilities that I can use in my teaching next term.
I like the way u model the teaching...how u get "students" to control the keyboard and mouse so that the teacher is free to interact with the students (Why didn't I think of that before!!!!)
Great workshop!!! Would definitely go back and share the things I've learnt and looking forward to this afternoon the tomorrow's workshop.
