“Sharing ideas and growing a personal learning network are becoming synonymous for many teachers”. Steve Wheeler from the Faculty of Education at the University of Plymouth makes a convincing and compelling case for teachers to blog as part of their work and professional enrichment. Here is his article. And a follow-up one here registering some reasons why teachers dont take the plunge!

A growing number of economics and business teachers are now enthusiastic bloggers and encourage their students to do so. Please jimriley@tutor2u.net if you would like to join the blogging team at tutor2u.

Here is a link to my recent CPD presentation at Mill Hill School and also a link to my work on establishing a personal learning network as a teacher.
