7. And now, why not be a bit more adventurous and create your own blog, wiki or podcast? Don't forget to let the group know about it! Provide the URL so that everybody can visit and leave a comment.

  • What would you like your blog or wiki to be about?
  • Who is going to read it - only you? Other teachers? Your students? Other students? Anyone?
  • Will you work on it alone or would you like to invite other people (students, for example) to write on it?

 

A few questions to think about after you've chosen a blog host:

  • How do you invite other people to write on your blog?
  • How do you insert photos on your posts?
  • Is it possible to upload videos? What do you need to do?
