So, here it is, the final, in reasonable length list of blog entries. When we were first told that we were to create a blog which would be updated regularly I have to say that I was a bit sceptical and not particularly interested in doing it. However, after quite a few months of frequent blogging I have actually enjoyed the experience and often looked forward to composing my entry.
I have found this blog site very easy to use not only in writing but also for attaching photos and weblinks. I have created a few hyperlinks in this blog as a whole and this is a very useful skill which I will definitely take with me long after the blogging has stopped.
I doubt I would ever blog again merely because I don't really have anything to blog about and I'm not sure exatly who would be interested enough to read what I might write, but I can see how useful it is as a form of communication and have actually added the blog of a famous write/actor/presenter to my favourites, and yes I do read it often!
In a school context I think blogging could be useful in KS2 for the children to write about the topics they are currently studying or even to keep up with school work while on holiday or ill. For them to have access to other people's blogs, say at a school in a different country, would be beneficial as there is much they could learn and the information they would be receiveing would be coming straight from the source. I think then that blogs are useful educational tools also and I hope that I see them used in schools.
On the whole this has been a useful exercise in that it has introduced me to new aspects of ICT and if I do feel the need to creat a blog again in the future then I have the skills at my disposal.
It has been a pleasure.
