Other class blogs...look here for some links

Thanks to edublogger for providing this growing list of class blogs.

I looked for some classes which were about the same age and quickly came up with a NZ school with a really interesting site.  I commented on a couple of their posts and hopefully they will look at our blog.

This is the simple way I am starting to link up learning.  I tried twitter earlier this year, but found that it was too unwieldy.  Selecting the right people to follow was tricky and I didn't feel I could monitor the tweets unless I spent an unmanageable amount of time online.

I still need to get a manageable way to encourage children to post more on the blog...

Twitter

Want to know about how twitter was formed, and how it has evolved from its original concept...from the mouth of its creator?

Found this through Angela Maiers twitter feed.

Full of great ideas for presenting, notetaking, recording and mentions different learning styles too.

Diigo, Blogger, Link and Learn and Twitter

Jackie, Colin and Ben were reviewing diigo bookmarks and talked about how it compared with the BPS link and learn system:

• easier to use - single button press
• more powerful - tagged and so allows greater search capability

Ben showed this blog and was excited to see the feeds from the diigo site had come through...set up last week.

Ben also mentioned his month long experience of twitter. Following the right people definitely saves time.

Jackie will talk to John about the possibility of monitoring usage of link and learn.

Could we use social bookmarking better at BPS?
