Our Bio teachers have just done a section on eco columns and we love how
they went about this. Firstly, instead of typing the instructions out, Jacky
made a short video which she linked off the academic Intranet site. Instructions
on how to Blog and examples of what a good blog should contain were also posted
there. She then used Stixy as a pin board to upload further resources /
instructions and Blogger as a platform for the pupils to blog the process. In
this way she was able to connect pupils to the subject content in a meaningful
and fun way. The boys worked together and could communicate with each other anytime
/ anywhere and also get real-time feedback from their teachers. In this way the
teachers could monitor the process, rather than mark an end product. The pupils
enjoyed the authenticity and excitement of being able to engage with the
various parties –and parents were invited to see the work too.
