Finally sent off my application for post Summer School money.
I am not sure it will get through but I hope I am given the chance to spend some time with the Science teachers building a wiki and showing them the power of the blog.
The costs might be slightly derailed if we set up a Moodle which apparently has both blogging and wiki facilities.
The Year 9ICT course is going well. At least 6 of the class are getting the idea that they can add to the knowledge the class has. It is a bit tricky to know how to edit their information - too much and they might lose confidence, not enough and they might not think it is worthwhile. The blogs are going well and give me a real insight into how they are going. Again, I need to give them feedback. But at least I can do it in my own good time.
Finally, I am setting up a 9 Maths wiki to use with students. Given the static nature of Maths, this could be an ideal set up for students who are struggling with Maths. The trick is to structure it so that there is enough information but not too much clutter.
Interesting times.
