Pupil blogs
I’ve decided to have a scout around to try and find some pupil blogs that can inspire me and other teachers to begin using blogs with students, not just for students. (I should point out that I have not necessarily had the opportunity to look at these blogs intensively myself yet – I am listing them here partly to help me look at them in more depth later, when I have more time!)
First of all – how to use a student blog. Also, I have just discovered this article reflecting on one teacher’s introduction of blogging to their class. David Muir has written a numpty’s guide to classroom blogging that might be of interest. He also referred to the Cool Cat Teacher’s post on Excellent Classroom Practices with blogging.

I hope that gives you a few ideas to begin with … please let me know of any other good student blogs that could inspire other teachers to set them up with our own pupils!

I’m glad you found my numpty’s guide useful… although I suspect it is a bit dated and that there is better stuff out there now.
