Getting there

Well, Stage 3 are slowly but surely navigating their way through our class wiki and set of class blogs (check out kidblog.org for a great tool that allows you to set up blogs for your class). 11 out of 30 class members have signed in and left comments - the downside to that has been that they started using the wiki like a social network site such as facebook but a quickly posted message from Yours Truly has momentarily stopped that. A couple of them liked the voki I posted and decided to sign up and create their own - great initiative, however, they posted their respective vokis within the opening cover page of the wiki! To get around that I've added a 'Fun Stuff' page so they can post that type of application - I'm a bit of a control freak about layouts (my issue not the theirs). The big test will be to see how many use their blogs to respond to the Bloom's Taxonomy and Multiple Intelligences tasks set for homework between now and the end of the term. It's onwards and upwards - even if we can't do this type of thing in class.
