Thanks to Seng Chee for allowing me to share at his class in NIE this afternoon. Was warmly greeted by the HOD ITs who were attending their DDM course. Quite a number of these fellow teachers have heard of blogs and one of the teachers had allowed his students to use blog for their weekly journals.
A few concerns were raised during the sharing, which included copyright, vulgarity issues. Really glad these were brought up as I am sure these are common concerns by many of us. Thanks to the active questioning, as well as contribution of ideas by the wonderful audience, have managed to prevent a boring workshop 🙂
Weiying was with me and she had helped me advertised on the upcoming Edublog Workshop to be held at Nan Chiau High School on 2nd Feb, 1430hr. Almost forgotten about this. Truly hope some of the teachers belonging to the HODs’ schools can make it to the workshop too.
For those who may be interested, the ppt slides used during the workshop can be found here. A step-by-step HOWTO to account creation in blogger.com is available here too.
Another round of blogvangelism completed, cheers!
