“Telling the New Story” – youtube.com

Wow I agree with what Jodie has said on her blog about the video.  It was extremely interesting to hear directly from a teacher about her point of view in using blogs as part of her teaching.  It was great to hear and see how the use ofblogging within the classroom could connect so many different people together.  In the video we see not only the student’s viewing each others blogs but also parents whilst at work and also a wider community around the world.  I think it is great in the sense that children using blogs feel that their work is good enough to be viewed by so many different people and this is another great motivational aspect to using blogs.

I found this short video on teacher tube and feel that it fits in perfectly with the article I read below.  It is a perfect visual summary of how educational blogging can effect and enhance childrens learning.
