This blog has been set up as a way for the teacher to provide feedback about their classes learning experiences by which all involved can access and view. I think this is such a great idea because students can visulise their work on the internet a place where all their achievement can be celebrated. The ability for all involved to access this information allows children to feel validated and introduces them to new ways of thinking. The ability for the teacher to introduce podcasts – reading their poems they have written – adds another step to the lesson and gives children a real reason for these literacy skills. When children know they are going to be watched not only by the teacher in the classroom but by others all over the world at any time, allows children to understand the true importance of all their education and provides and reflection on their abilities within their contextual environment. I think this blog is a fabulous idea and i will certainly be using it in my further teaching.
