Classroom Blogging
Published by Reflective Teacher October 22nd, 2005 in Open Classroom
“What is it about the Australian educational system that keeps blogging from taking off as it has in the US? I’d be very interested in knowing how pedagogy and theory and real world computer access are similar to and different from the US.â€? Just recently this question has been in my mind (although the comment I am quoting is from a post published in March this year). While the Directory of Australian Edubloggers is growing as more people find out about it, there are not so many teachers using blogs with their students that I have been able to find. In my search, though, I did find Our Class 2005 which is “a blog for an English class of adult migrants in Sydney, Australia.â€?
Certainly, community building is being promoted among edubloggers by James Farmer at the Edublogs.org community and Leigh Blackall with the Teach and Learn Online TALO Group (and there are no doubt other that I’m yet to discover). I would love to get more Aussie teachers using blogs just so I have more people to learn from and with, and because I think it is an interesting thing to do. It is true that we are on a journey and there are things we need to figure out, but we can figure them out together. Dave Cormier has posted on some of the issues over the last few days here and here. Something that I like a lot is being able to share with my students other student blogs such as those in Clarence Fisher’s class of bloggers and A School of Voices by Anne Davis just so they hear voices on blogging other than mine.
