Blogging Starter activity





i’m going to share my reflections on teaching and learning here.

Today, i carried out a class where the learners wrote one blog post (on sticky notes placed around the class). The topic i gave was “I wish..”

They replied to eachother’s posts with a different colored sticky note.

The purpose of the lesson was to prove that blogging could be fun. I could not exactly get to the safety part of it, since a lot of time was taken by them replying to eachother’s posts.

To a person used to a traditional classroom, it might have looked like a chaos, but I know my learners were on task throughout.

My next lesson will be on how to manage a safe blog.

I asked them in the end how they could keep unwanted comments away.

So I think presently i’m on the right track.

:D
