Next term, we’ll have a 4th year B’ed student in class. Miss L visited us last week and was very keen to set up her own blog so that she could become involved in our ‘community’ (???).
Her blog (set up with the help of P7 pupls) can be visited here
I’ve set up my own blog , too now …… and the children have been very quick to comment and offer their support on both blogs 
I’ve also had an interesting conversation with a pupil who has difficulty with spelling. She is building an online friendship with some new ‘peers’ in Australia and during our discussion she was keen to point out that she now uses various strategies to improve her spelling. She made it clear that she didn’t care about spelling so much when it ‘just appeared in a jotter’ …. using her blog has given her a real audience.
The members of this new audience are the same age and sex as she is …….. and they care about the presentation of their work
………… peer pressure of the best kind??
Even more questions to answer
