A Blog About Blogs

Thought you would like to know that Kent Adult Education has made a successful application to run a project evaluating the use of Weblogs in adult and community learning.

The project will focus on a group of learners studying for the new e-Citizen qualification and a digital video course.

Peter is the tutor who will be at the sharp end of this work and one of his first tasks is to decide upon an appropriate blogging tool. There are dozens out there all with different capabilities, though Blogger is high up the 'ease of use' list!

Peter's learners will be looking at uploading video clips and sound as well as text and pictures so the search is on.

We'll keep you informed of progress, as weblogs are increasingly recognised as a useful tool for both teachers and learners...
  • a personal development journal
  • an information tool
  • a public space for developing writers
  • encouraging peer support
  • constructive criticism
  • collaborative learning

So watch this space...In the meantime if you would like to discuss how you might use a weblog with learners email le_admin@kent.gov.uk with some contact details.
