Using ICT in Language Teaching and Learning

It is easy to set up your own blog.  Some such as edublogs are free, others you need to pay for.

You have to want to do it and think through what you want it to be for and get out of it.  Your blog can be whatever you want it to be, for example if you use it simply to “store” internet links and files that pupils can download and use at home then why not – it’s your blog.  You can use it to blog a school trip, or to set up a one off collaborative project with another school.  The list of possibilities is endless.

A blog is your digital footprint, a chance to celebrate and share good work and good practice.  Pupils and parents can comment and view work from home.  It can take time to embed in your everyday practice but it’s worth a go.
