How to keep the blog ‘current’, knowing that we may be too busy to update the contents or respond to the comments?
- We will have to re-visit the purpose of using the blog with the class.
- If it is a class activity for a topic, it is quite likely that the blog is only used when we want pupils to access information or attempt the activity during that period when the topic is taught.
- If it is a class blog, to communicate information such as homework or assignments, the nature of activity would have lead us to update the blog quite regularly.
- If it is meant to get feedback or as an alternative channel to pupils to ask questions, then activate the email notification and this will bring you to the blog as and when you need to respond to the pupils.
- If the intent to is supply useful/relevant topical information and websites (one way communication) to the pupils (in the level), perhaps a few teachers can take charge of the topical posting.
