Reflection: I enjoy playing with technology and once again I am grateful for the chance to have had a play/try out Edublog before I was teaching it to the class. I was familiar with the layout and where I wanted and needed students to go. Students having blogged before were also given time to explore their edublog dashboard and postings.

Things to note: Due to isolation we did this a few times and by the last time students were able to help other students. This was the second time some of the students had used edublog.

Look at what makes an attractive, interactive, compelling read or blog to explore.

Explore how you might set a post out, like a story a blog has a beginning ,middle and an end. Providing sentence starters to help new bloggers.
