The challenge for Educators is to look new tools such as blogging (web-logging)and to consider how they can be used to support student learning.
With easy access to internet cafes worldwide, blogging can be used by students to maintain a journal of their activities and keep parents and friends up to date with their travels. In doing so students should be encouraged to not only provide a recount of their journey but to reflect on what they see, feel, hear and experience in order to provide a depth to their writings.
Photos can also be easily uploaded and shared. Attached to this blog is an image of the Eiffel Tower I took from the top of the Arc de Triomphe on a recent trip.http://www.bendigoschools.vic.edu.au/blogs_wikis.shtml This url will take you to some sites I have collated to support teachers across Bendigo.
