I have recently set up a blog for students to use in association with the unit of work on Japan they are completing. Their task is to decide which Japanese city their family should move to according to certain provided criteria. They are using the blog to write their thoughts about what they are learning in their research, particularly about cultural differences, and these comments are read an commented upon by students in other classes studying the same unit and they have taken to it like ducks to water. It's so exciting.
My next project is to set up a blog to which students can upload book reviews for others to read and another for teachers to share new information about lessons and teaching and learning in the 21st century. A type of online professional learning.
Who knows from there... A library wiki with book e-trailers, links to websites, embedded videos...
