Blogging 2011

As participating and contributing is the key c that we will be unpacking and focusing on in 2011 our big focus at St Marys will be our class blogs.

We need to regularly update our blogs and ensure our blogs are a two way form of communication. It doesnt have to be a lot of work for you if you organsie for the children to do it. Dont forget to ensure you have permission to use your students photos.

I will also be looking for evidence to use in our milestone reports on how you and your students are using ICT and the Key C's in your room, so please give me a yell and I will take a video or some photos.
