The use of a blog as a reflective aid

Keeping this blog as part of my ICT course has gradually become easier and less time consuming. Initially i was sceptical as to the real value of a blog compared with other means of recording but it has proved to be a quick and easily accessible means of sharing information and findings. I would now definately use one with a class to record experiments, events and even activities. We are moving into a digital age and as such need to equip the children we teach to be active and successful in a digital medium. Children are excited and motivated by computers and the internet and this needs to be harnessed and developed.
