Blogging at Koorana

Many classes at Koorana now have their own blog. Within that blog each student has their own blog page where they can write articles. Students are able to comment on other student’s and teacher’s blogs. All articles are sent to the class teacher for approval. Teacher’s are also able to comment on an article and ask the student to make changes before publication or teacher can make quick edits before publishing.

The SLICT co-ordinator has assisted the teachers in the setting up and ongoing PD of teachers, using classblogmeister.com
This is a safe site that is set up solely for educational use and is an effective blogging site that suits our needs.

Teachers are find blogs are an excellent way of integrating ICT into their literacy programmes especially. But are also excited by the opportunities they give the students to safely communicate with other students and classes from around the globe as well as relatives and friends, who can visit their blog and leave comments. Also, students are learning to use applications such as bubble share and flickr safely to add photos and other elements to their blogs.

How to find our Blogs

We are using www.classblogmeister.com to host our blogs.

Have a look at our blogs by clicking on the links below! Our students and teachers love receiving comments! When you leave a comment, don’t forget to say who you are like this;
Bart S 3.2
We don’t use our surnames to make sure we stay safe when using the internet.
Also use appropriate language. All teachers have to approve the comments before they are published on the blog, so they won’t appear straight away.
