At the ICT in Business & Economics conference, delegates shared their thoughts on reasons to encourage students and teachers to get involved in blogging.  Here is a brief summary of those suggestions.

In no particular order of importance…

(1) Keeping in touch with students during holidays / revision time
(2) A platform for collaborative discussion of case studies
(3) Providing access (links) to screened and recommended online resources
(4) To encourage response and fedback to a resource stimulus
(5) Coursework progress blog, sharing data, approaches and problems
(6) A mechanism for recording work experience
(7) Facilitating communication between school and home (including parents)
(8) A way of recording evidence for unit assignments
(9) Encouraging students to read more widely and to write about that reading
(10) A natural extension of classroom discussions

If you have any further suggestions that we could add to this list, please submit them using the comments function below
