051028-Sharing with CPA Teachers@MOE Edutorium
Thank you teachers for listening to my (boring) sharing. As mentioned, the slides that I have used are available here.
The softcopy of the Weblogs in Education lit review is available in the IT Litereature Review page of ETD’s EduMall. Check out EduMall for the wealth of resources related to IT in education.
We are unable to allow hands-on during the sharing, and creating a blog is really fast and easy on a usual day. If you would like to this moment create your own blog, first grab this Blogger.com user guide (~4.4MB) (which I have created for use during my workshops). Next, surf to Blogger.com and within 5-10 minutes, you will be a member of the blogger’s community. Yup, congratulations in advance 🙂
Hope the sharing has triggered your thoughts and you will consider to use blogs in your teaching and learning. Cheers!
